How health monitoring protects your
people and your business

Workplace health risks don't always show up straight away - here's how a structured monitoring
programme keeps your team safe and your business protected.

Health monitoring

We help workplaces protect their people with proactive health monitoring that picks up risks early and supports long-term
wellbeing. Our nurses provide clear, reliable assessments so you can feel confident your team is safe, healthy and fit for work.

Health monitoring may include:

Hearing assessment
Spirometry (lung function)
Vision screening
Musculoskeletal assessment
Biological monitoring
Cardiovascular risk assessment
Other role-specific testing

Hazard-based compliance assessments

If your team is exposed to workplace hazards, you may need targeted assessments as part of your compliance
and risk management. We match monitoring to your exposure profile so you can meet obligations with
confidence. This includes benchmarking back to previous results to monitor for change over time.

Drug and alcohol testing

Drug and alcohol testing is a well-established safety tool. We provide workplace testing programmes that are straightforward to implement and aligned to your policy.

Testing options include:

  • Pre-employment screening
  • Random testing programmes
  • Post-incident / reasonable cause testing
  • Random rehabilitation testing

Testing is completed to relevant AS/NZS standards, with certified testers and robust chain-of-custody processes.

Respiratory fit testing

If your people rely on respiratory protective equipment, fit testing helps confirm they’re actually getting the protection they need. Fit testing checks that the mask forms an effective seal - because even small leaks can reduce protection.

Fit testing is delivered by trained clinicians in line with AS/NZS 1715:2009 requirements and can be arranged onsite for teams.

Biological monitoring

Biological monitoring helps measure exposure to hazardous substances by checking relevant indicators in the body (for example, where workers may be exposed to chemicals or solvents).

This is the recognised standard to confirm whether your controls are working effectively to protect long-term health, especially in higher exposure environments.

We work with specialist laboratories and clinical experts to ensure results are interpreted appropriately and reported in a clear, practical way. All testing is in line with Worksafe’s biological index.

Asbestos and crystalline silica exposure monitoring

Exposure to asbestos and crystalline silica can create serious long-term health risks. Health surveillance helps identify early changes and supports safe, compliant management for exposed workers.

Monitoring may include:

  • Respiratory health screening
  • Lung function testing
  • Ongoing surveillance schedules aligned to role exposure
  • Referral for medical review if changes in health function are identified

We’ll help you set up a programme that fits your workplace risks and supports your obligations.

Frequently asked
questions

Do we need workplace health monitoring?

If your workers are exposed to hazards that could affect health over time, monitoring may be required as part of managing health and safety risks. We can help you identify what’s needed based on your workplace hazards.

How often should health monitoring be done?

It depends on the hazard type, exposure level, and industry expectations. We’ll recommend a schedule that’s appropriate and practical for your operation.

Can health monitoring be delivered onsite?

Yes. Many services can be delivered onsite to reduce disruption or completed at our clinics nationwide.

What should we have ready before getting started?

If you have existing hazard registers, role descriptions, PPE requirements or a drug and alcohol policy, that’s helpful — but not essential. We can guide you through what’s needed.
