Healthbox clinician delivering onsite workplace health monitoring

Health & safety compliance

Workplace health monitoring that meets your HSWA 2015 duty of care

For H&S managers who need to evidence health monitoring: onsite clinical checks matched to your exposures, with audit-ready records for WorkSafe, ACC and your board.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, a PCBU must eliminate or minimise risks to worker health so far as is reasonably practicable. Where workers are exposed to health hazards, that duty of care extends to monitoring their health so exposure-related harm is caught early and acted on.

Health monitoring is only as useful as the records behind it. When WorkSafe NZ, your board or an ACC claim asks what you had in place, you need evidence, not intentions: who was monitored, for which hazard, and what happened next.

Healthbox delivers that monitoring onsite and hands you records that stand up to scrutiny. We provide the clinical services and the evidence; you own your wider health and safety system. WorkSafe guidance and the regulations that apply should be confirmed for each workplace and hazard.

Match the hazard to the monitoring

Different exposures call for different health monitoring. Here's how the common workplace health hazards map to the clinical services Healthbox delivers onsite.

Noise

Audiometry (hearing tests)

Plant, machinery, tools and high-noise environments

Baseline and periodic audiometric testing to identify noise-induced hearing loss early, in line with AS/NZS 1269.4:2014.

Dust, fumes & vapours

Spirometry (lung function)

Welding, dusts, respirable crystalline silica, chemical vapours

Lung-function testing to detect changes in respiratory health where workers are exposed to airborne hazards.

UV & outdoor work

Skin checks

Construction, agriculture, roading and other sun-exposed roles

Head-to-toe dermoscopy skin-cancer checks for melanoma and other skin cancers linked to occupational UV exposure.

Manual handling & ergonomics

Workstation & ergonomic assessment

Desk-based roles, repetitive tasks and heavy lifting

Ergonomic workstation assessments to reduce musculoskeletal risk and evidence action on manual-handling hazards.

View the service

Musculoskeletal & fall risk

Functional movement & fall-risk assessment

Physical roles, ageing workforce and safety-critical tasks

Functional movement screening to assess capacity for physical work and flag fall or injury risk before it becomes a claim.

Shift work & general health

Workplace health checks

Rostered work, fatigue and whole-of-workforce wellbeing

Broad health checks covering the modifiable risk factors that affect fitness for work, fatigue and general worker health.

Exact monitoring requirements depend on the hazard and exposure level. Confirm the current WorkSafe NZ guidance and regulations for your workplace.

Records that stand up to audit

Every check is booked and recorded through Healthbox Live, the platform behind every programme. That gives you real-time participation data and health-monitoring records at the workforce level: de-identified evidence of your duty of care, ready for leadership, WorkSafe or an ACC claim.

Individual clinical results stay confidential between the worker and clinician. What you hold is the proof that monitoring happened, who took part, and that follow-up was actioned.

What you can evidence

  • Who was invited and who took part, per round and service
  • Which hazard each monitoring type addresses
  • De-identified participation and trend reporting
  • That follow-up was offered where results warranted it

How it works for compliance

A straightforward path from your obligations to the evidence you can file, with the admin handled.

  1. 1

    Scope your obligations

    We work through your hazards, exposures and workforce to map which health monitoring applies under HSWA 2015, so you're monitoring what matters and not paying for what doesn't.

  2. 2

    Schedule onsite

    We plan clinic days around your rosters and sites. Workers self-book their slots through Healthbox Live, with reminders, so participation stays high and admin stays low.

  3. 3

    Clinicians deliver monitoring

    Our clinicians run the audiometry, spirometry, skin checks and assessments onsite to recognised standards, with confidential results going straight to each worker.

  4. 4

    You get audit-ready records

    You receive de-identified participation and health-monitoring records that evidence your duty of care, plus clear follow-up for any worker who needs it.

Compliance questions, answered straight

Does Healthbox make us HSWA 2015 compliant?
Not on its own, and we won't claim otherwise. Compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 rests on your wider health and safety system, which you own. What Healthbox delivers is the clinical health monitoring and the audit-ready records that support your obligations, so that where your workers are exposed to health hazards you can evidence that their health is being monitored and acted on.
What health monitoring does WorkSafe expect for noise or dust exposure?
Where workers are exposed to noise, WorkSafe NZ expects a PCBU to monitor hearing through audiometry; where they are exposed to dusts, fumes or vapours, respiratory (lung-function) monitoring through spirometry is expected. The specific requirements depend on the hazard and exposure level, so confirm the current WorkSafe guidance and regulations that apply to your workplace. Healthbox delivers both onsite, with baseline and periodic testing.
Do you provide records for audits, WorkSafe or ACC?
Yes. Every check is booked and recorded through Healthbox Live, giving you participation data and health-monitoring records at the workforce level. Individual clinical results stay confidential between the worker and clinician, while you receive de-identified, audit-ready evidence of the monitoring you have in place for leadership, WorkSafe or ACC.
Is this occupational health monitoring or a wellbeing perk?
It's occupational health monitoring. The audiometry, spirometry, skin checks and assessments are clinical services aimed at meeting your health-monitoring obligations under HSWA 2015. They support worker wellbeing too, but the purpose here is duty of care and evidence, not a perk.
How quickly can you get onsite?
Healthbox delivers nationwide and can usually schedule an onsite programme within a few weeks, depending on your location, team size and the mix of monitoring required. Tell us your exposures and headcount and we'll come back with a plan and timeframe.
Which standards do you follow?
Audiometry follows AS/NZS 1269.4:2014, the standard for auditory (hearing) assessment. Spirometry is delivered to lung-function testing best practice, and skin checks use dermoscopy performed by skin-cancer clinicians. Our clinicians work to recognised clinical standards across every service, and we align monitoring to current WorkSafe NZ guidance.
