About the Client
Sands Funeral Chapel Cremation and Reception Centre is a funeral and cremation service provider located on Quadra Street in Victoria, British Columbia.
For workplaces where employees are required to wear tight-fitting respiratory protection, proper respirator fit is an important part of an effective respiratory protection program.
In August 2026, the Clear Work division of Clear Health Group provided on-site qualitative N95 respirator fit testing in Victoria for a group of 10 employees.
Rather than requiring employees to travel to an outside testing location, Registered Nurse Nina brought the service directly to the workplace.
The Challenge
What the organization was facing
The employer needed to coordinate N95 respirator fit testing for 10 employees while minimizing disruption to the workday.
Organizing individual off-site appointments can create unnecessary challenges for employers, including:
- Employee travel time
- Time away from regular duties
- Multiple appointments to coordinate
- Scheduling conflicts
- Additional administrative work
For a group of employees working at the same location, bringing the testing directly to the workplace offered a simpler solution.
The goal was to complete the required fit testing efficiently at the client's Victoria location while keeping the process straightforward for both employees and management.
Our Solution
Clear Work coordinated a workplace visit to 1803 Quadra Street in Victoria, BC, where Registered Nurse Nina completed qualitative N95 respirator fit testing for 10 employees.
Step 1: Pre-Visit Coordination
Before the appointment, the workplace was provided with information to help employees prepare for their fit testing.
Employees using tight-fitting respirators need to arrive clean-shaven anywhere facial hair could interfere with the respirator's sealing surface.
Providing these instructions in advance helps the testing day run efficiently and reduces the chance of an employee being unable to complete their test.
Step 2: Mobile On-Site Setup
Registered Nurse Nina travelled directly to the client's workplace and prepared the testing area on-site.
Because the service was brought to the workplace, employees could complete their appointments without travelling elsewhere in Victoria.
Step 3: Qualitative N95 Fit Testing
Each participating employee completed qualitative fit testing for their N95 respirator.
Qualitative fit testing is a pass/fail method used to assess whether a tight-fitting respirator provides an adequate seal for the individual wearing it.
Employees were guided through the fit-testing process by Registered Nurse Nina.
Step 4: Fit-Testing Documentation
Following the testing, the applicable fit-testing results were documented to support the employer's workplace respiratory protection records.
The entire project allowed the employer to coordinate testing for the group through a single workplace visit.
