Spirometry is a common test to assess how well your lungs are functioning, but is only effective if done following strict procedures. Our spirometry technicians have completed the only Australian Accredited Spirometry Training to ensure they are competent.

Our spirometry is conducted using the strict health and safety guidelines for PPE and filters to ensure the health of participants and our staff are at the forefront of our testing procedures.
Spirometry forms an integral part of our Coal Mine Worker Medicals and health surveillance, especially for silicosis, a pulmonary fibrosis lung disease caused by breathing in tiny bits of silica. For workers in construction and mining spirometry can be an important diagnosis tool.
