Quick answer

The short version

KINNECT is the approved provider for the Boyne Smelters Limited (BSL) Respiratory Protection Program. Anyone working in dust or fume areas at BSL must complete a respirator fit test before attending site and at least every two years. We deliver BSL-compliant testing in our Gladstone clinic, or onsite for groups of up to 32, using the approved BSL mask samples — 3M FF400, 3M 6000 series and Sundstrom SR200 for full-face. Results are issued the same day for presentation to BSL.

Why this test exists

BSL requires a fit test before you can work in dust or fume areas.

Boyne Smelters Limited requires every employee and contractor working in dust and/or fume areas to wear a respirator. Different faces seal differently against different masks — a fit test confirms which approved BSL respirator gives that specific worker the highest level of protection, and is the gateway to site access.

Site access compliance

A current BSL-compliant fit test is part of the access requirement. Workers get a printed result the same day to present on site.

Real protection, the right mask

We test against the BSL-approved mask samples so the result reflects the actual respirator the worker will wear in the smelter.

Two-year re-test cycle

BSL requires every employee and contractor to repeat their fit test at minimum every two years — we track and book recurring sessions.

Approved BSL masks

We test against the masks BSL has approved for site.

BSL has supplied KINNECT with sample respirators so the fit test you complete in ourGladstone clinic matches the equipment you'll actually use onsite.

Important: moving forward, BSL no longer accepts half-face respirator fit tests for contractors — contractors must wear a full-face respirator.

Full-face (required for contractors)

  • 3M FF400
  • 3M 6000 series

Tell us your mask type — Full Face, Half Face or P2/N95 — when you book so we can prepare the right sample.

Who has to complete a BSL respirator fit test?
Every employee and contractor working in dust and/or fume areas at Boyne Smelters Limited must complete a respirator fit test before attending site, and at minimum every two years thereafter.
Can contractors still use half-face respirators?
No. Moving forward, BSL no longer accepts half-face respirator fit tests for contractors — contractors are required to wear a full-face respirator. Approved full-face options are the 3M FF400, 3M 6000 series and Sundstrom SR200.
How do I book?
You can book online via the Click & KINNECT Shop — search "BSL – Respirator Fit Test" — and add it to your Gladstone 3 Site Medical referral if you have one. Tell us your mask type (Full Face, Half Face or P2/N95) at booking.
Where is the test conducted?
Individual fit tests are run at KINNECT's Gladstone clinic. Group testing blocks can be delivered onsite at your workplace or at our clinic.
How do I prove my fit test to BSL?
We issue you a printed copy of your results on completion of the test, which you present to BSL as part of the requirement to access site. If completed alongside a Gladstone 3 Site Medical, results are also documented on your 3 Site Medical Card.
How often do I need to repeat the test?
BSL requires employees and contractors to repeat the respirator fit test at minimum every two years. We can also book in earlier if you change mask model, role or have any concerns about fit.
