Free N95 Fit Testing Kits Available
All health care personnel who use N95 respirators should be fit tested annually per Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards.

Each test kit includes:
- 25 disposable fit testing hoods
- Two nebulizers
- Three boxes of fit test solution
- Three boxes of sensitivity solution
Note: Solution in fit testing kits expire February 2026.
A limited number of these free fit testing kits remain available for request by Wisconsin health care facilities and local and Tribal health departments. Kits will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Reserve yours soon!
