This Stuff Saves Lives! This was a significant gap I identified weeks ago, as well as the incorrect use of surgical masks, in lieu of P2 Protection.
Generally Industry & Healthcare Professionals I was observing and talking to, had not been properly fit tested or trained.
The Requirements of AS/NZS 1715 are prescribed by Workplace Health & Safety Regulations Nationally. Failure to conduct correct Respiratory Protection Fit Testing & Training for such Risks, is Illegal and Negligent.
It actually takes 5-10 minutes max, NOT 30 minutes.

Fit-testing is a 30-minute process to ensure masks do not leak, but more rudimentary fit-checking is far more common
