Clear a Seasonal Intake Without Waiting

Thirty people arrive for a season and need respirators on day one. Your own tester clears each intake as it lands.

  • Grain dust, mould and sanitation chemicals need a sealed respirator
  • Seasonal crews cleared on arrival
  • Records filed as you go

Qualitative only (Bitrex or saccharin), not quantitative. Your organization stays responsible for its respiratory protection program.

Why Train With Us

Taught by People Who Fit Test Farm and Plant Crews

We fit test on Fraser Valley farms and plants year-round, so we teach the real problems: facial hair, workers who can't taste the solution, and language barriers.

Trained on Your Own Equipment

We teach on site on the respirators your workers wear.

We Are Still Here Afterwards

Your tester can call us with questions. For a big seasonal intake or cover, we can come and test.

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 fit tester training for farms and food processors.

Does this help with seasonal workers who arrive at different times?
arrow_forward_ios

That is the main reason to do it. An outside visit has to be scheduled, so workers who arrive a week later either wait or start without a fit test. A tester on your own staff can test each person the day they show up.

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

Yes. On completion, your participant has been assessed as competent to perform qualitative respirator fit testing on your workers as part of your own respiratory protection program. It does not qualify them to train other people to fit test, and it does not cover quantitative fit testing.

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 employers who train in-house keep us for the work an internal tester cannot absorb: a large seasonal intake, a second site, or cover while the tester is away.

Train Your Own Fit Tester

Four hours at your site, forms and templates included. Add a fit test kit and start that week.
