We have two audio booths operated by our CAOHC certified technicians. Our physicians are able to track changes in your employees’ hearing and recommend proper protection or job restrictions as needed.

Spirometry

Pulmonary Function Testing is performed for a variety of job functions or positions. This allows us to assess fitness for duty and fitness for respirator use.
Spirometry is performed by our ATS/NIOSH certified technicians.

Respirator Fit

If your employees need to wear respiratory protection, we conduct two types of tests for respirator fit with qualitative or quantitative results. We use PORTACOUNT equipment and Fit Plus software for quantitative testing.

We can assist you in determining your respirator needs. Please contact us if we can help fit your employees for respirators. Please inform any employee requiring a fit test that they must be clean shaven at the time of testing.

OSHA

OSHA has standards concerning respirator surveillance programs. These standards affect all employees required to wear respirators in performing their jobs. Our pre-placement and periodic surveillance exams are compliant with OSHA’s requirements. We also perform both qualitative and quantitative respirator fit-testing required by the OSHA standards. Please contact us if there are any questions about compliance with these respirator standards.
