The use of adequate and suitable respirators are essential for worker protection, so how do you know if the PPE issued to your workers actually fits them?
Tight-fitting respirators must seal to the wearer’s face to provide the expected protection. If there’s a leak in the face seal, they may be exposed to harmful airborne contaminants.
Fit testing is required by law in many different countries around the world and is being increasingly adopted by companies as best practice - even where there is not a mandatory requirement to fit test.

The worker would surely say if it didn't fit?

I think you are 50 years too late with that one, when you set your house on fire just note how many of the firemen have beards.

So does your PPE mask fit? If it does not fit close to your face without gaps - it is useless! You also need the goggles too - viruses enter th body through the eyes.

The food & beverage service industry is generally sympathetic to that line of thought, but business in general is markedly more anti social distancing than they are anti mask. It's social distancing that massively reduces capacity. Many businesses can remain viable with mask 'requirements' but maintaining social distancing 'requirements' for certain business sectors leads to businesses not being sustainable, viable commercial enterprises.

Meanwhile, hospital staff, I feel, would be unsympathetic to your usual "Why bother?" attitude:

FFP3 masks for hospital staff cuts COVID-19 infections by up to 100 per cent

Another strange post, when I and others have challenged your stance on masks (with evidence) you don't seem to want to take it on board.

Now you post an obvious point about mask fitment.

I could also point to divers not wanting water in theirs,

Soldiers not wanting gas in theirs etc

It's as though you sift through the internet to come up with c&p's with some sort of scientific leaning.

Yet you don't understand them, hence the Prof moniker.

Is this some sort of masochistic issue you have?

No, the tin foil hat protects him, her, it!

No, the tin foil hat protects him, her, it!

Hats only cover heads, in Said’s case no protection for the voice or brain unless he wears tin foil nappies.

And you have not worn PPE all the time this pandemic has been going on?

Actually no - they are lubricated!

Actually no - I am very fortunate in that my sh..t comes out of my as hole unlike most of you where it has to negotiate its way past your tongue!
