May 13, 2022The New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH) and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Yates County are pleased to provide a respirator fit testing clinic for agricultural businesses in your region on May 13th, 2022.

Appointments are one hour long. Up to four (4) workers can be seen at the same time. Medical evaluations, fit tests, and trainings are available in both English and Spanish. Cost is $65 per person.
To schedule please contact: 607-547-6023 (Monday-Friday, 7:30am-4:00pm) and ask for the Fit Test Clinic Scheduler or email 'FitTest@bassett.org' .
What You Will Need to Schedule an Appointment:
- Number of people attending from your farm
- Name of each person being scheduled
- Language spoken by each attendee
- Make and Model of each respirator to be tested
Important: A respirator fit test ensures that a particular make, model and size of respirator fits the wearer's face and will meet the wearer's needs. If a worker wears more than one style of respirator, including filtering face pieces, they must be fit tested for each one.
How to Have a Successful Fit Testing Day:
- Arrive on time
- Complete in advance and bring all required paperwork
- Be clean-shaven
- Do no chew gum, smoke, or drink coffee at least 15 minutes before appointment
- Bring check payment.
