Respirator Fit Test Record Redaction with anonym.plus

HR Solution · Health, Safety & Employers' Liability · COSHH 2002

Respirator fit test record redaction is the removal of personal data from the result an employer keeps under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH). The Regulations require control of exposure and related medical surveillance. anonym.plus marks each detail on your device, so the result stays usable while the worker is shielded.

When this applies

Such a result ties a worker to a respirator model and a clearance note. You trim the identifiers before a copy goes to an HSE inspector or contractor.

How anonym.plus handles it

1. Open the result in anonym.plus on your device.
2. Local OCR reads a scanned clearance page.
3. The tool flags the worker, the NI number, and the tester.
4. Keep the respirator model and the pass result.
5. Swap or black out the confirmed items.
6. Save the clean copy locally.

What you need to provide

• The test result (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
• An operator (Replace keeps the result readable).
• Optional allow-list for the respirator model.

PII entity types detected

Compliance achieved

• Supports exposure control and surveillance under COSHH 2002.
• Shields a clinical note tied to the test.
• Offline work keeps worker data off any server under UK GDPR & DPA 2018.

Limitations & cautions

A clearance note can reveal a respiratory condition. The tool flags listed items, yet a restriction may still hint at the worker's status. Share only the data the inspector or contractor needs.
