Health & Hygiene Monitoring
MEET REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND SAFEGAURD YOUR WORKFORCE
Biosymm delivers comprehensive onsite health and hygiene monitoring services to help your business meet regulatory requirements and safeguard your workforce.
Our solutions are designed for organisations operating in high-risk environments, ensuring compliance, risk mitigation, and employee wellbeing.
Audiometry Testing
Under recent WHS regulations (Reg 58), audiometry (hearing) testing is mandatory for all workers in mining and general industries. Biosymm provides:
- Reference assessments within three months of employment commencement, specific to each employer/site.
- Ongoing monitoring at least every two years for workers regularly using hearing protection, with increased frequency for high-risk groups.
- Early detection of hearing threshold shifts, enabling prompt intervention and referral if permanent changes are identified.
All testing is conducted onsite, ensuring your business remains compliant and your workforce protected.
Pulmonary Function Testing (Spirometry)
Spirometry is essential for detecting and monitoring lung conditions, especially for workers exposed to hazardous airborne substances. Our services include:
- Periodic lung function assessments to identify asthma, COPD, and other respiratory issues.
- Quantification of lung impairment and monitoring of occupational/environmental exposures.
- Support for compliance with workplace health standards.
Respirator Fit Testing
Proper respirator fit is critical for worker safety in contaminated environments. Biosymm offers:
- Quantitative fit testing in accordance with AS/NZS1715, required before respirator use and at least annually.
