Spirometry Testing for Manufacturing Workers

Understanding the Risks in Manufacturing Environments

Manufacturing workers are frequently exposed to various hazardous substances including dust, fibres, fumes, and chemicals. This can pose significant risks to worker respiratory health. It is important for manufacturing businesses to assess and mitigate these risks and ensure they comply with workplace health and safety regulations.

The Role of Spirometry Testing in Workplace Health

Spirometry testing plays an important role in maintaining and protecting the respiratory health of your manufacturing workers. Employ Health’s Spirometry Testing provides an objective method for assessing lung function, measuring both the flow and volume of air inhaled and exhaled. This test is often seen as an essential way of detecting any impairments in lung function, which could be caused by occupational exposure to respiratory irritants.

Spirometry Screening Advantages for your Manufacturing Business

Using spirometry testing to ensure your manufacturing business adheres to Australian Work Health & Safety regulations regarding health monitoring.

Employ Health’s spirometry screening offers a consistent, gold standard approach for diagnosing airflow limitations and obstructive pulmonary conditions.

Through regular spirometry testing, employees gain confidence in their employer’s commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace.

Our Spirometry Screening Process for Your Manufacturing Workers Includes:

Step 1: Preparation and Safety: Employees complete consent and health questionnaires. Spirometry testing is safe but may have contraindications in a small number of instances (e.g., recent lung surgery, heart conditions), which are carefully evaluated.

Step 2: Conducting the Test: Employ Health portable, state-of-the-art equipment testing equipment is used to test employees, requiring them to simply forcefully exhale. This then measures their lung capacity and airflow.

Step 3: Analysis and Action: Our experienced physiotherapists review the results to identify normal or impaired lung function, guiding further action if necessary, such as advanced lung function testing.
