Spirometry-Pulmonary Function Testing

Mobile Spirometry and Pulmonary Function Testing

KSA Occupational Services provides on-site spirometry for employers managing occupational respiratory surveillance programs. Mobile testing can be coordinated across shifts and combined with other services to reduce employee travel and production disruption.

What Does Spirometry Measure?

Spirometry measures how much air a person can exhale and how quickly it can be expelled. Results can help establish a baseline, monitor changes over time, and support appropriate clinical follow-up when an abnormality is identified.

Workplace Respiratory Surveillance

Employers may use pulmonary function testing when employees are exposed to respiratory hazards or when a substance-specific standard, medical-surveillance program, or healthcare professional calls for testing. Potential exposures can include respirable crystalline silica, isocyanates, welding fumes, wood dust, and other airborne contaminants.

Baseline and Periodic Testing

Testing at the start of a surveillance program can establish an employee’s baseline lung function. Periodic testing may then be scheduled according to the applicable standard, exposure, medical recommendation, and employer program. KSA organizes results for professional review and employer documentation.

Efficient On-Site Testing

A spirometry appointment commonly takes about 15 minutes. KSA can coordinate testing for multiple employees and, when appropriate, combine it with mobile hearing tests, respirator medical clearance, and fit testing.
