Monitor and protect your team's lung health

If your team is exposed to dust, fumes, airborne particles, solvents or other respiratory hazards, regular lung function monitoring is essential, and in most cases, required.

Healthbox spirometry testing is delivered onsite by Clinical Exercise Physiologists using high-quality equipment and internationally recognised testing protocols. The test measures how much air a person can exhale and how quickly they can do so.

Detecting changes in lung function early allows appropriate action to be taken to protect employee health, and gives your organisation reliable monitoring records.

Workplace Spirometry Testing: your questions answered

What is workplace spirometry testing?
Spirometry is a lung function test that measures how much air a person can exhale and how quickly they can do so. In the workplace it is used to monitor the respiratory health of workers exposed to dust, fumes, airborne particles or solvents, detecting changes early so action can be taken.
Which workers should have spirometry tests?
Workers regularly exposed to respiratory hazards, including construction dust and silica, welding fumes, wood dust, spray-painting isocyanates, grain dust and solvents, should have baseline and ongoing spirometry as part of health monitoring under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.
How long does an onsite spirometry test take?
Each appointment takes 15 minutes: a 10-minute spirometry test followed by a discussion of the results with the Clinical Exercise Physiologist. Healthbox brings all equipment to your site.
How often should workplace spirometry be repeated?
A baseline test at employment start, then typically annual monitoring for exposed workers. Regular testing builds the trend data needed to spot declining lung function before it becomes serious disease.
