Onsite Health Services





Onsite Audiometric Testing

Audiometric Testing is becoming a key component to most industry safety standards. As stated in Part 16 of the Alberta Occupational Health & Safety Code, all employers are required to protect their workers, when it is deemed that noise is a safety hazard in the workplace. Noise exposure of over 85dB for an 8 hour period falls into this category. Regular Audiometric testing is standard. This means that Baseline Audiometric Testing must be done within the first 6 months of any employee starting employment with an employer. Additional tests are then required 12 months after the baseline test and every two years thereafter. At Precede OHS, we like to make the most of health and safety and offer our Audiometric Testing services, not only at our locations and affiliate locations, but also **available on-site as well.

Pulmonary Lung Function Testing

Spirometry or Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) is measuring how well the lung draws in and releases air. When exposed to contaminants in the workplace, your employee’s lungs are affected impacting the health of their lungs. When left unchecked, this exposure can cause irreversible damage to the health of lungs. Spirometry can be utilized when implementing the Health Surveillance of your employees who wear respiratory protective equipment which is mandatory as per the Government of Alberta and consistent with the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety code. Let our Certified Spirometry Technicians help keep your employee’s lungs healthy.

Drug/Alcohol Onsite Testing (Non DOT/ DOT)

As a key component to most pre-employment testing as well as workplace incident testing, we offer both DOT 5-panel Drug Screen and Non-DOT drug tests as well as Breath Alcohol Testing services fully available on-site. The initial collection is completed on- site then sent to our SAMHSA approved laboratory for testing. Click HERE for more information on our Drug & Alcohol Testing Services.

Onsite Qualitative Respiratory Fit Testing

When completing the Qualitative Fit Testing with our professionals, we are ensuring that not only the safety mask is fitting to the employees shape of their face/head, but that the mask is being correctly used by the employee. In this procedure using a pass/fail method, the employee is required to detect Irritant smoke. If this employee cannot detect these harmful odors, the test is considered a pass.

Onsite Quantitative Respiratory Fit Testing

When completing the Quantitative Fit Testing with our professionals, we are ensuring that not only the safety mask is fitting to the employees shape of their face/head, but using a numerical measurement of the ‘fit factor’ of a particular respirator. We use a particle counting device (such as a TSI Portacount Plus) that measures the concentration of microscopic particles that exist in the atmosphere to measure the ‘fit factor’ directly. The calculation is made while the person performs dynamic movements and/or breathing exercises resembling those experienced in the workplace in order to stress the respirator seal.

Sound Level Survey / Mapping Service

Measuring sound levels and workers noise exposures are the most important parts of a workplace hearing conservation. It helps identify work locations where there are noise problems, workers who may be affected, and where additional noise measurements need to be made. In this procedure, we map out the noise levels of your workplace, identify if there is a noise problem within the workplace, and continue to support you in making your workplace a safer workzone for your employees.
