Workplace health for Manufacturing & Engineering

Shift-friendly onsite health monitoring for manufacturing and engineering, including audiometry, spirometry and SafetyChecks, covering your HSWA 2015 duties.

Understanding the risks in manufacturing & engineering

Plant noise, welding fumes, solvents and process dust make manufacturing one of the most monitored-hazard-dense sectors in New Zealand.

Healthbox runs testing around your shift patterns, including early starts and back-to-back scheduling, so production lines keep moving while your people get tested.

Client stories

What manufacturing & engineering teams tell us

Christchurch
The de-identified workforce report gave our leadership team the evidence to fund a full wellbeing calendar. Participation hit 87%. Our previous off-site programme never cracked 30%.
General Manager, PeopleManufacturing group
Hamilton
Hearing tests and spirometry for two shifts, done in a spare smoko room over one day. The team barely left the floor and we ticked off our annual monitoring in one visit.

Manufacturing & Engineering: your questions answered

How does Healthbox work around manufacturing shift patterns?
Testing days are scheduled to match your rosters, including early-morning starts so night shift can be tested at handover. Employees book their own slots online, and short appointment formats (10–25 minutes) keep line coverage intact.
What health monitoring do manufacturers need for welding fumes?
Workers exposed to welding fumes should have baseline and ongoing spirometry to monitor lung function, alongside the exposure controls themselves. Healthbox delivers onsite spirometry using internationally recognised protocols, with referrals when results indicate concern.
Do shift workers have higher health risks?
Yes. Shift work is associated with elevated cardiovascular and metabolic risk, including type-2 diabetes. Annual onsite health checks identify these risks early and give shift workers practical, personalised guidance.
