A four-hour course at your plant that trains your designated safety staff to run qualitative respirator fit testing to CSA Z94.4. Each participant is assessed before sign-off.
Available across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. Qualitative fit testing only.
The 16 things WorkSafeBC expects in your hearing program, from noise measurement to annual tests. One page, ready to print.
With two or three shifts, someone is always off or on a line that can't stop. Your own tester tests people when they're there.
Qualitative only (Bitrex or saccharin), not quantitative. Your organization stays responsible for its respiratory protection program.

Hands-on. Everyone performs a full fit test and can test the next worker on Monday.
Respirator selection, seal checks vs fit tests, CSA Z94.4, sensitivity screening and pass/fail criteria.
A full qualitative fit test, assessed, then a Clear Health Group certificate.
Manual, record forms and a program procedure, ready when WorkSafeBC asks.
We fit test in BC plants year-round, so we teach the real problems: facial hair, workers who can't taste the solution, the wrong mask size.
We teach on site on the respirators your workers wear.
Your tester can call us with questions. For a big intake, shutdown, second plant 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.
We recently used Clear Health Group for our company-wide annual hearing testing and respirator fit testing across two locations and two days. … Seamless and professional.
They showed up to our jobsite in Duncan, on time and were well prepared for our team to have their fit tests done on site.
Wonderful experience! Noah was lovely to coordinate with and the testing experience was seamless for our team! Would happily book again for our next test. Cheers!
Noah was a great technician. Explained everything well and answered all our questions.
My ear test was done by Noah and he explained everything in detail and helped me through the process. Excellent.
Noah from clear work was excellent. Really good communication skills and hardworking. I really appreciate the effort he put in our site for hearing test.
Happy to have booked with Clear Work. Noah & Nina were fast, easy to work with, and readily available. 5/5!
ClearHealth is fantastic. Very accommodating and Noah is an absolute pleasure. Very friendly, quick services, very efficient! Highly recommend.
Friendly, professional and accommodating team! Pleasure to work with.
I had my hearing test today. Noah did a great job and explained everything very well.
Overall it was a wonderful experience for the test. Very professional and good consultation regarding hearing loss prevention.
Just want to say, thank you Noah! It was a great and easy process! Very informative, interesting and useful information! Appreciate it!
Here are answers to common questions about fit tester training for manufacturers.
If you run multiple shifts, yes. One tester on days cannot clear a night-shift hire without someone coming in on their own time. Two or three testers spread across your shifts is the arrangement that actually removes the bottleneck.
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.
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.
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.
For routine testing, no. Most employers who train in-house keep us for the work an internal tester cannot absorb: a large intake, a shutdown, a second plant, or cover while the tester is away.
Four hours at your plant, forms and templates included. Add a fit test kit and start that week.
