WNY Pulmonary Testing

To make sure that your place of employment remains in complete compliance with federal and state regulatory agencies, employees may be required to obtain routine WNY pulmonary testing. This type of testing is required in specific occupations as part of the new hire process and for routine evaluations of employee lung health.

It's necessary in occupations where employees depend upon the functions of a respirator when on-the-job. Respiratory-use may be required regularly or during emergency situations only. Regardless of how often the respirator is used, it's vital to make sure that the employee's health is up-to-par when wearing one to avoid a dangerous situation.

Why Routine Testing is Necessary

Routine testing is just as important as new hire testing as an employee's lung health could potentially deteriorate in-time for various reasons. If the employee's lung health has deteriorated, it may no longer be safe for the employee to wear a respirator on-the-job. Routine testing is generally performed once annually to catch problems early-on.
