Built for Healthcare

Clear Casual and New Staff on Arrival

Casual and part-time staff start at short notice, and N95s must seal the first time. Waiting for an outside visit hurts most in an outbreak.

  • N95 and half-face respirators tested before first use
  • New and casual staff 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 Care Staff

We fit test in BC healthcare and long-term care year-round, so we teach the real problems: staff who can't taste the solution, the wrong N95 model, and records that must be right.

Trained on Your Own Equipment

We teach at your facility on the respirators your staff wear.

We Are Still Here Afterwards

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

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 healthcare employers.

Who at a care facility should take this course?
arrow_forward_ios

Usually an occupational health nurse, an infection control lead, a staffing or site manager, or the person who already looks after your PPE program. No prior fit testing experience is needed. If you run multiple shifts, training two people is worth it.

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 intake, an outbreak response, a second site, or cover while the tester is away.

Train Your Own Fit Tester

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