Can a large crew be hearing tested without stopping work?
Yes. 80 tradespeople were tested across two days at Pitt Meadows Plumbing & Mechanical Systems, in groups around their schedules rather than the site stopping.

About the Client
Pitt Meadows Plumbing & Mechanical Systems is a Maple Ridge-based mechanical contractor specializing in complex mechanical construction across healthcare, institutional, infrastructure, commercial and high-rise projects. They came to Clear Work directly.
The Challenge
What the organization was facing
Pitt Meadows Plumbing & Mechanical Systems needed to complete mandatory WorkSafeBC occupational hearing testing for its tradespeople without disrupting active work.
At that headcount, off-site testing means 80 appointments, 80 sets of travel time and crews pulled away for weeks.
Our Solution
Noah from the Clear Work team brought one of our mobile hearing testing units directly to the workplace.
Workers were also walked through the hearing protection options available to them, from disposable, reusable and banded earplugs to standard, electronic and hard-hat-mounted earmuffs and custom-fitted moulds.
What was included:

Why This Approach Worked
Testing 80 people is a different problem from testing 15, so spreading the visit across two days mattered more than raw speed. Moving quickly mattered too, since the gap between deciding and doing is often the real obstacle.
A test without a conversation about protection is only half the job. Trey Cadwell pointed to the "good advice to further improve the safety of my hearing" and Matt White described the service as "polite and efficient."
Why This Matters
Benefits for Similar Businesses
Our mobile units travel directly to workplaces, shops and construction sites, allowing employers to coordinate hearing testing at the location where their people are already working.
Clear Work is a WorkSafeBC Authorized Industrial Audiometric Business, and our teams complete 30K+ tests every year.

Approximately 55 hearing tests per day, depending on site logistics and scheduling. Larger workforces are coordinated across multiple days, as they were for this 80-worker booking.
How long does each hearing test take?
A typical occupational hearing test takes approximately 10 minutes per person.
How quickly can Clear Work come out to a workplace?
It depends on the season, location and crew size; Pitt Meadows Plumbing & Mechanical Systems had 80 workers tested the following week. Get in touch and we'll tell you what's available.
