Respirator Fit Testing and Nurse Practitioner Sign-Off for 10 Trane Commercial Workers in Burnaby, BC

Second year, same team, no sales pitch. In October 2026, Clear Work returned to Trane Commercial's Burnaby site for its annual on-site respirator fit testing. Clear Work technician Noah completed qualitative fit tests for 10 workers, and Clear Health Group Nurse Practitioner Monica is completing health assessments and clinical sign-off for the same 10 workers in Trane's lung repository program. Trane's Head of Health & Safety, Stephanie Cambrey, left a five-star review the same day, and the Victoria site is booked for November.

About the Client

Trane Commercial designs, installs and services HVAC and building systems for commercial facilities. Its service and installation teams work in mechanical rooms, job sites and occupied buildings across British Columbia, and workers required to wear tight-fitting respirators need a current fit test. Clear Work has supported Trane's respiratory protection requirements since 2025, at its Burnaby site and its Victoria site.

The Challenge
What the organization was facing

Trane's respiratory protection program has two parts that have to line up every year. Workers who wear tight-fitting respirators need an annual fit test, and Trane's lung repository program requires a health assessment and clinical sign-off for those workers.

Splitting that between a fit testing company and a separate clinic means two schedules, two sets of records and more time pulling workers off the job. Trane's Health & Safety team wanted one provider that could handle both, at its own sites, with a team that already knew the program.

Our Solution

Clear Work delivered the fit testing on-site in Burnaby, with Nurse Practitioner sign-off following through Clear Health Group.

Step 1: On-Site Qualitative Fit Testing

Clear Work technician Noah set up at Trane's Burnaby site and completed qualitative (hood) fit tests for 10 workers to CSA Z94.4 protocols, using the respirators they wear on the job. Workers were released in small groups so the day kept moving.

Step 2: Questions Answered, No Pressure

Noah walked Trane's Health & Safety team through their questions and gave them updated information on Clear Health Group's other occupational health services. Information only, no sales pitch.

Step 3: Nurse Practitioner Health Assessments

Clear Health Group Nurse Practitioner Monica is completing health assessments for the same 10 workers in Trane's lung repository program and signing off on the results, so the clinical side is handled by the same provider as the fit testing.

Step 4: Documentation

Each worker receives a pass/fail fit test result, and Trane receives organized records for its respiratory protection and lung repository programs.

Step 5: Victoria Next

Clear Work returns to Trane's Victoria site in November 2026 to deliver the same program on Vancouver Island.

What was included:
  • On-site respirator fit testing for 10 workers at Trane's Burnaby site
  • Qualitative (hood) fit testing to CSA Z94.4 protocols
  • Pass/fail documentation for every worker
  • 10 Nurse Practitioner health assessments for the lung repository program
  • Clinical sign-off by a Clear Health Group Nurse Practitioner
  • Organized records for the employer
  • Same program delivered at the Victoria site

Client Testimonial

"Technician was fantastic, made the process quick and easy. Answered all the questions we had and provided me with updated information on the additional services provided without a sales pitch (which I very much appreciate!)"

Stephanie Cambrey, Head of Health & Safety, Trane Commercial

Why This Approach Worked

Fit testing and medical clearance are usually handled by different providers. For Trane, having both come from one team means one booking, one set of records and one point of contact for the Health & Safety lead.

Continuity matters too. This is the second year Clear Work has delivered the program, so the team already knows the site, the respirators in use and how Trane runs its day.

And the feedback says the rest. Stephanie Cambrey, Trane's Head of Health & Safety, called the process quick and easy, and singled out that we shared updated service information without turning it into a sales pitch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you handle both fit testing and the medical sign-off?
arrow_forward_ios

Yes. Clear Work technicians complete the fit testing on-site, and a Clear Health Group Nurse Practitioner can complete health assessments and clinical sign-off, so both sides of the program come from one provider.

How often is fit testing required in BC?
arrow_forward_ios

Before first use of a tight-fitting respirator, at least once a year, and whenever the respirator model or size changes.

Do you provide fit testing in Victoria and on Vancouver Island?
arrow_forward_ios

Yes. Clear Work delivers on-site fit testing on Vancouver Island, including Trane Commercial's Victoria site, as well as across the Lower Mainland.

How long does a fit test take?
arrow_forward_ios

Typically 10 to 15 minutes per worker, depending on the respirator.

How should workers prepare?
arrow_forward_ios

Workers need a bare face along the seal line and should bring the exact respirator they use on the job.
