About the Client
Vancor Construction is a Metro Vancouver general contractor specializing in multi-family residential development, including townhomes and low-rise projects, since 2016.
Noah from Clear Work met the crew during our construction outreach, which led to Vancor booking on-site hearing testing.
The Challenge
What the organization was facing
Vancor Construction needed a practical way to complete mandatory WorkSafeBC occupational hearing testing for 15 construction workers without pulling the crew off an active residential build.
An off-site clinic would have meant 15 appointments and 15 sets of travel time, on a schedule already juggling weather delays, trade sequencing and inspection dates.
Our Solution
Noah from the Clear Work team arrived on-site with one of our mobile hearing testing units and coordinated testing directly at the workplace.
Our team also walked workers through their hearing protection options, from disposable, reusable and banded earplugs to standard, electronic and hard-hat-mounted earmuffs and custom-fitted moulds.

Why This Approach Worked
This job started with a site visit, not a search result. Contractors rarely look for a hearing testing provider until a deadline hits, and meeting one on site moves it from the list to the calendar.
Why This Matters
Benefits for Similar Businesses
Our mobile units travel directly to workplaces and construction sites, allowing employers to coordinate their hearing testing at the location where their employees are already working.
Clear Work is a WorkSafeBC Authorized Industrial Audiometric Business, and our teams complete 30K+ tests every year.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does on-site hearing testing take for a crew of 15?
At the Vancor Construction project, 15 workers were tested in approximately two hours, with the crew coming through in rotation rather than the site stopping. Exact timing depends on crew size and site logistics.
How many workers can Clear Work test in one day?
Approximately 55 hearing tests per day, depending on site logistics and scheduling. Larger workforces can be coordinated across multiple testing days.
Where does Clear Work provide mobile hearing testing?
Clear Work provides mobile occupational hearing testing throughout British Columbia, including Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities, the wider Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, the Sea-to-Sky corridor, Vancouver Island and the B.C. Interior. Minimum booking requirements may apply.
Who receives the hearing test results?
Workers receive the appropriate information relating to their own hearing test. Employers receive the testing and status information they need for their records, not audiograms, hearing thresholds, clinical notes or other confidential clinical information.
How far in advance should we book on-site hearing testing?
Vancor Construction booked approximately two months in advance, which gave them room to place the visit at a convenient point in the build schedule. Earlier booking gives more choice of date, particularly in busier months.
