I think what OP means is N95 masks must be properly fitted to the individual. When my wife started working at a hospital she had to undergo such a fitting. So unless you get the proper size, you could still be exposed. I think that’s what he meant.

I'd really like to know how often those fit tests actually result in someone needing to select a different respirator size or style.
I wonder if they're only needed if you're required to be 100% sure all your people can use their respirators with near-100% effectiveness. That's probably necessary if you're working in a contagious disease isolation unit or removing asbestos all day every day, but maybe not for less dangerous environments.
