Workplace respiratory surveillanceGeneral guidance — not individual medical advice
Workplace delivery

Onsite spirometry, planned around people and production.

A practical route for employer-led testing where onsite delivery is clinically and operationally suitable.

Onsite delivery

Bring the assessment closer to the workforce.

Onsite testing can reduce travel and help employers schedule exposed groups across shifts, departments or sites.

It still needs an appropriate environment: quiet enough for clear coaching, private enough for health discussions, clean and ventilated, with safe access and enough space for equipment and seated testing.

Availability to verify

Onsite, clinic and geographic coverage are presented as enquiry preferences, not confirmed service promises, until the business verifies them.

Employer checklist

Prepare a room that supports a good test.

Space

Private and suitable

A room separated from operational noise and public footfall, with seating and enough space to coach safely.

Environment

Clean and comfortable

Suitable temperature, ventilation and hygiene arrangements, away from immediate dust or fume exposure.

Schedule

Realistic appointments

Allow for check-in, questionnaire, safety screening, repeat blows, recovery and unexpected clinical review.

Information

Workers prepared

Send appointment purpose, preparation guidance, confidentiality information and a route for questions.

Access

Practical site arrival

Share parking, security, inductions, PPE requirements and a site contact before the visit.

Contingency

Plan for change

Make space for absences, postponed tests, shift overruns and workers who need further review.

Multi-site programmes

Consistency matters more as the programme grows.

Agree a common protocol, workforce grouping method, employee communication, reporting format, escalation route and recall process across sites. Local scheduling can then flex without changing the clinical or governance standard.

  • One programme owner and clear site contacts
  • Exposure groups defined consistently
  • Common preparation and consent materials
  • Secure transfer and retention arrangements
  • Consolidated programme-level review
Throughput

Do not plan from an invented appointments-per-hour figure.

Time varies with the protocol, questionnaire, employee history, need for repeat blows, test quality, symptoms and escalation. A responsible quote should set capacity after reviewing the workforce and programme scope.

Share shifts, operating windows, headcount and access constraints so the schedule can be modelled honestly.

Employer enquiry

Plan an onsite or multi-site testing day.

Share workforce numbers, sites, exposures and scheduling needs. Do not include employee health information.
