What's Included

Four-Hour Practical Course

Mask selection, seal checks, CSA Z94.4, screening and pass/fail criteria.

Competency Assessment

Each participant runs a full fit test before sign-off and gets a certificate.

Forms and Templates

A manual, record forms and a simple procedure that hold up when WorkSafeBC asks.

Why Train With Us

Taught by People Who Fit Test Every Week

We cover the real problems: facial hair on the seal, workers who can't taste the solution and masks in the wrong size.

Trained on Your Equipment

We teach on the respirators your workers actually wear.

Support Afterwards

Your tester can call us with questions, and we can step in for big intakes or shutdowns.

What Employers Across BC Say About Us

This is our second year working with Clear Health Group. Great experience with their hearing testing and mask fit testing services. The team was professional, organized, and very knowledgeable. Everything was explained clearly, and the testing process was quick and efficient.

They were also very accommodating with scheduling and made the process easy for our employees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to common questions about our on-site fit tester training.

Who should take this course?
arrow_forward_ios

A safety coordinator, supervisor, foreman, or first aid attendant who will be responsible for fit testing your workers. No prior experience is needed. Participants must attend the full four hours, including the practical assessment, to be signed off.

Does this qualify our staff to fit test our own employees?
arrow_forward_ios

Yes. They are assessed as competent to run qualitative fit testing on your own workers. It does not cover quantitative testing or training other testers.

Is this qualitative or quantitative fit testing?
arrow_forward_ios

Qualitative, using Bitrex or saccharin protocols. That covers N95 and suitable half-face respirators. This course does not cover full-face respirators or quantitative fit testing.

How long is the certificate valid?
arrow_forward_ios

CSA Z94.4 requires fit tests to be carried out by a trained, competent person, but it does not set an expiry date on that training. Industry practice is to refresh every three years and we recommend the same. Refresh sooner if your tester moves to different respirator types or your program changes.

Will we still need Clear Health Group after this?
arrow_forward_ios

For routine testing, no. Most clients keep us for big intakes, shutdowns, second sites or cover when their tester is away.
