According to the OSH act of 1993; Lung function tests must be done to prevent respiratory disease. Lung function tests can prevent future disease if it’s done correctly. The best way to counter occupational disease is an early warning and prevention system. Lung function tests should be done regularly to ensure its effectiveness.

 

Often workers are affected by chemicals by breathing toxic substances. This includes dust, fogs fumes, mists, sprays and vapours. Sometimes the substances can be almost undetectable. Often hazardous substances have no odour or colour. This means that your employee might be exposed to dangerous substances without your knowledge.

 

Lung disease may take many years of exposure to develop. If you do not have the adequate paperwork to prove that you took reasonable steps to prevent the disease, you might get into serious trouble. If you have your employee lung function tests documented you can monitor, the health of your employees. This ensures that preventative measures can be taken before it’s too late.
