Many workplaces in New Zealand present risks to healthy respiratory function. Often, these risks are present unwittingly. Long term exposure to contaminants and fumes can result in permanent damage to lungs, which in turn, can lead to a range of diseases.

New Zealand workplaces commonly use more than 400 agents and substances known to cause occupational asthma, and this list is growing.

Monitoring your staff's respiratory health prevents minor symptoms from becoming serious conditions, and provides you with a real-world check on your workplace environment.

Monitoring also helps to prove the adequacy of your ventilation systems and respirators, or helps to establish that respirators and other safety equipment is being used correctly.

Medica Consulting's Spirometry testing is the first point of any monitoring programme, easily and quickly performed from our Mobile Testing Unit.
