Motor vehicle incidents are among the leading causes of traumatic workplace injuries and fatalities in BC. The Safe Driving for Work Checklist has been developed to help employers and their workers take proactive steps to manage driving-related risks. This checklist serves as a practical guide to reinforce safe driving practices and is designed to be used before, during, and after each trip.

In long-term care it is increasingly apparent that who is on shift is just as important as how many staff are on shift. Quality care is difficult to achieve when we do not routinely engage with one another in a positive, or civil, manner.

Qualitative Fit Tester Training

This Qualitative Fit Tester Training has been developed in accordance with WorkSafeBC Regulations and CSA Standards. This course is an online, self-paced course with a virtual skills assessment demonstration component.

This Qualitative Fit Tester Training has been developed in accordance with WorkSafeBC Regulations and CSA Standards. This course is an online, self-paced course with a virtual skills assessment demonstration component. Participants who successfully complete the course will be able to conduct qualitative fit tests on workers who are using N95 respirators (or equivalent).

A fit test is a series of procedures used to determine if a tight-fitting respirator, such as an N95, can effectively seal around the wearer's face. Without conducting a fit-test, there is no way to confirm that the respirator can adequately protect the wearer from airborne disease and contaminates. 

Fit testing is legally required for anyone who must use a tight-fitting respirator in Canada and according to WorkSafeBC Regulations, fit testers must be competent in the fit testing methods as described by the CSA Standards. 

By the end of this training, successful participants will be able to:

  1. Explain why fit testing is necessary for anyone wearing a respirator
  2. Understand the WorkSafeBC Regulation and CSA Standards as they apply to respirator use in continuing care
  3. Evaluate another person’s competency to properly don, seal check, and doff a respirator
  4. Conduct qualitative fit tests from beginning to end for N95 users
  5. Clean and maintain the equipment included in a qualitative fit testing kit
