Silica / Asbestos Exposure

Book Online

When workers are exposed to silica dust or asbestos above the Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) as indicated in the Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) Code, baseline Silica / Asbestos Exposure testing and periodic health surveillance must be completed. Silica / Asbestos Exposure Testing consists of a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) / Spirometry, a Chest X-ray, and a Physician’s Evaluation of these 2 tests (Silica / Asbestos Screen).

 

All abnormal PFT and chest x-ray results are reviewed by our contracted Occupational Health Physician, and the employee is notified directly of the result and related follow up recommendations.
