IFTI Partners with Occupational Health Dynamics

The Finishing Trades Institute International (IFTI) is pleased to announce a new and exciting partnership with Occupational Health Dynamics (OHD), a company we have had the pleasure of working with since discovering them while researching ‘best practices’ for the fit testing of our members. Since that initial meeting, they have demonstrated a history of exceptional value and commitment to the health and well-being of those working in the construction industry.

As a result of this experience, the IFTI has partnered with OHD on the Quantifit mask fit testing system for OSHA compliant respirator fit testing.  The Quantifit allows for the fastest fit test on the market and has already been purchased by a number of our training facilities.

According to George Boots, DC 6 (Ohio) Director of Training, “We have used the equipment for just over a year, and our members love it!  Our Fund administrator analyzed the cost savings from using this equipment versus outsourcing fit testing services the previous year, and we had a savings of 35.5% with the use of the Quantifit test system and Examinetics.”

The IFTI continues to make strides in forming partnerships to give IUPAT members the tools to become not only the most skilled on the job site, but the most safe as well.
