Answers:
I believe this is an N95 mask fitting!.!.!.at least for me when I started working in the hospital I had to do this

Basically they fit a bunch of different N95 masks to your face depending on your jaw structure, they get you to inhale a gas with an odour, and see if you smell it to see if it's working!. You end up using the type of N95 mask that completely blocks out the odour!.

This is a mandatory requirement for the hospital as you may end up seeing patients with TB or other airborne illnesses!.

How do I prepare for the fit testing!?
If I was fit tested with a "button mask", do I still need to be fit tested for the N-95 Respirator!?
I was already fit tested for the N-95 Respirator!. Do I need to be fit tested again!?
The instructions say I must complete an Employee Health Service (EHS) Medical Evaluation Form, but I've already filled out a clearance form - do I have to fill out another!?
