CNC Channel Sign booked fit testing for 8 workers. The business next door heard we were coming and booked 3 more. Noah tested all 11 on one visit.
CNC Channel Sign Ltd is a signage business on Cariboo Road in Burnaby, on an industrial strip where several small operations sit side by side.
A small crew is the hardest group to get fit tested. A visit of its own needs five or more workers, and sending two or three people to a clinic costs more in lost hours than the tests do.
CNC Channel Sign had eight workers due. The business next door had three — not enough to justify bringing anyone out on their own.
Clear Work ran one on-site fit testing visit for both.
The second booking happened because word travelled: the neighbour heard Clear Work was coming and asked to be added. Nobody had to make the numbers work on their own.
Both businesses have rebooked for 2027, and both asked about adding first aid training to a future visit for the same reason — it is worth more when we are already on site.

Yes. If businesses are next door to each other, in the same complex or on the same street, and the testing happens on the same day, we can run both on one visit. The first booking covers the trip, so the second business pays per person with no mobile service fee and no visit minimum.
Not on your own — a visit of your own needs five or more workers. Shared with a neighbour, three is fine. Tell us where you are and we will say whether we are already coming to your area.
About 10 to 15 minutes per worker, using the masks your workers already wear.
Yes. Hearing testing and first aid training can run on the same trip, which is what both of these businesses asked about for next time.
Before first using a tight-fitting respirator, then at least once a year, and sooner after a new mask or size, significant weight change or dental work.
