dc.description.abstractRoutine fit testing of N95 respirators was not widely practiced in Victorian healthcare settings prior to the COVID-19 pandemic; the User Seal Check (USC) was deemed satisfactory to ensure proper fit. Over 3000 Victorian healthcare workers contracted COVID-19 at work in 2020. Reliance on the USC may have contributed to healthcare worker acquired COVID-19. Aim: to evaluate the adequacy of the USC compared to fit testing, and identify possible risk factors.en_US
