Spirometry Assessments
Employers have an obligation to provide periodic respiratory assessments for workers who are at risk of exposure to hazardous airborne substances and are required to wear respiratory personal protective equipment in the workplace, in accordance with provisions set out in WHS regulations.
Monitoring Lung Health in the Workplace
At Hayden Health and Safety, we’re dedicated to monitoring the respiratory health of your workforce. Our comprehensive spirometry testing services are key to assessing lung function, crucial in various workplace settings. Spirometry, a straightforward and non-invasive test, measures an individual’s inhalation and exhalation capacity and the speed of their breath.
Expert Testing with Advanced Equipment
Our experienced technicians utilize the latest in spirometry technology and techniques to provide accurate assessments of lung function. We offer a suite of testing options – from pre-employment and baseline assessments to regular check-ups – ensuring a program that aligns with the specific needs of your business.
Compliance and Testing Frequency
Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011, our testing protocols include
- Baseline testing within three months of initial exposure to respiratory hazards.
- Regular testing at least once every two years for most employees.
- Exit testing to document lung function at the end of an employee’s tenure.
For those in high-risk environments or with respiratory health histories, we recommend more frequent assessments. Early detection through our spirometry testing can be pivotal in preventing further lung health deterioration.
