Respirator fit test
Okay, let's pretend you're going to wear a special mask to help you breathe in a place where there might be bad things in the air that you don't want to breathe in. But we have to make sure the mask fits your face properly so that you don't breathe in any bad things that might be around you. This is called a respirator fit test.
The fit test is like a special check-up for your mask. Someone who knows how to do it will help make sure the mask is the right size for your face and that it's snug enough so that no bad things can sneak in from the sides or the top or the bottom. They will put a special hood over your head and spray a sweet or bitter mist into it, which you will breathe in with your mask on. If you can taste or smell the mist, it means the mask isn't fitting right and we need to try a different size or shape or adjust the straps. If you can't taste or smell the mist, then your mask fits perfectly!
It's important to always wear a mask that fits properly because it helps keep you safe and healthy. So when you're wearing your special mask, just remember that it's like a superhero cape that protects you from the bad guys - and as long as it fits perfectly, you're ready to take on anything!
