New Respirator Fit Test Wallet Cards for 2024
The New Respirator Fit Test Wallet Cards for 2024 are you out. Some things have changed, and some things have been added and some deleted. Right from the start you'll notice the background of the New Wallet Card. Sticking with the theme of this whole website, and because I'm an ex mason, A brick background has been added. In addition, The Eagle has changed again. Changing him out keeps these cards current and helps to maintain authenticity.
The same can be said for the back of the card. Now, an actual space for yours and my signatures. One of the biggest changes and was brought to my attention by clients workers, on their request. Dropped was the line for you to state what company your working at. It doesn't matter what company your with, or who is paying for the service, it's YOUR card and your name on the front and signature on the back.
In short, it's your proof that you have been properly fit tested and been given the Instructional Orientation as directed by the CSA Standards Z94.4-02. Case in point. If you were to move to another city and had to leave your place of employment, Your care goes with you.
In fact, that's completely true to be said about all your proof of training and certifications. Unless you as the worker agree to have your foreman or safety manager of the company hold them for you, all your proof of training wallet cards should be in your possession.
If an OSO (Occupational Safety Officer) from WorkSafe BC where to ask to see your proof that you have had a Respirator Fit Test for the exact respirator your using, you have to provide it. No proof = No training. That goes for Fall Protection Training, Confined Space, Scissor Lift Operations, or any other task with in your scope of work that requires annual retraining and testing.
This is by far where FreeBird Safety Services is the best place to have your Respirator Fit Testing conducted, as well as your Personal Fall Protection Training done. Unlike sao many other establishments who will just issue a carbon copy of training with everybody's name on it for your forman, We go above and beyond you the worker is protected. Even though the cost of these cards and the lamination skins const some of our proffits, Oh well. It's always been FreeBird Safety's belief that this is the correct way to conduct safety related training. The end of 2023 is coming quick, so if you require a Respirator Fit testing or even Personal Fall Protection Training, book an appointment soon.

Industries
Actively working in the Occupational Health and Safety field, FreeBird Safety Services in all good conscience can not venture into the Site Management profession. Crossing safety and production can conflict with one another. Whereas safety on a construction site speaks for itself, production centers around plans and scheduling, purchasing and installation, finances, and completion dates. With that being said, this company has always maintained when problems arise with the latter, the former has a tendency to take a backseat. Consequently, the resulting scenarios are hazards being missed, and workers suffering injuries.
General Construction
In the same fashion, FreeBird Safety Services can not spread talents across multiple industries. Specializing in general construction for over 30 years can serve other industries. However, only within the realm of expertise of professionals within this company. For instance, contracts for the position of safety and first aid in Oil and Gas and Hydro-Electric Dams have been accepted and completed. This is due to within those industries a magnitude of construction activities was being conducted. Even venturing into the manufacturing industries proved to have a vast amount of transferable safety-related issues that were soon mitigated.

Divisions of FreeBird Safety Services
- Construction Safety Services
- Safety Training * Online Safety Training
- Program and Manual Development
- Media
- Research and Development
The Research and Development Division (R & D) is exactly what it appears to be. A few different ideas are being developed that hopefully in time can be brought to market. Having already soft tested one such item has already brought very strong and positive reviews from colleagues and tradespeople. FreeBird Safety Services is also considering bringing on a business manager as a partner or entertaining the idea of investors to facilitate expansion. Wish to grow the media division by advancing our upcoming Podcast and syncing it with online video news.
