Workplace health programmes for Construction & Trades

Workplace health for Construction & Trades

Onsite health monitoring for construction and trades, including hearing tests, spirometry and skin checks, meeting HSWA 2015 duties with minimal downtime.

Understanding the risks in construction & trades

Construction crews face the toughest exposure profile of any NZ workforce: noise from plant and tools, silica and timber dust, full days of UV exposure, and physically demanding work.

Healthbox brings monitoring directly to site or yard. Short appointment formats and self-service booking mean crews cycle through testing with minimal disruption to the programme of works.

Construction & Trades: your questions answered

What health monitoring is required for construction workers in NZ?
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, construction employers must monitor workers exposed to significant hazards. In practice this means audiometry for noise-exposed workers (per AS/NZS 1269.4), spirometry for dust-exposed workers (especially silica), and managing UV risk for outdoor crews, which onsite skin checks directly support.
Can health testing be done on a construction site?
Yes. Healthbox delivers testing onsite at construction sites, yards and depots. A site office or clean room is sufficient for most testing, and short 10–25 minute appointment formats keep crews productive.
Why do construction workers need skin checks?
Outdoor construction workers receive far higher cumulative UV doses than indoor workers, in a country with one of the world's highest melanoma rates. A 20-minute annual onsite skin check catches melanoma early, when it is most treatable.
