Address
Form of workWe are currently seeking interest for experienced and new to industry Casual Occupational Health Technicians.
The focus of this role is to successfully conduct a range of tests including Respirator and Hearing Protection Fit Testing, Audiometric (Hearing) & Spirometry (Lung Function) assessments to ensure the safety and sustainability of workers within their working environment.
We operate predominantly from our Belmont Office, although we also have a Mandurah office and mobile vans that allow us to undertake testing onsite and from time to time we may be asked to provide FIFO services.
Qualifications as an Audiometric Officer (highly desirable), or previous experience in a similar role would be well received, but as we are looking to fill a few positions, we are keen to welcome new to industry technicians who will be professionally trained through our in-house training program with the support from accredited and Senior Technicians. New inexperienced technicians will commence with Respirator and Hearing Protection Fit Testing.
About the Role:
What is Fit Testing? A Respirator Fit Test assesses whether a respirator forms an adequate seal on the wearers face to ensure the wearer is receiving sufficient protection against contaminates such as dusts, chemicals, fibres etc. An Earplug Fit Test tests the size and shape of the earplug fits the ear and provides workers with adequate hearing protection in their workplace.
What is an Audiometric Assessment? A hearing test that detects whether hearing has been impaired or has changed over time due to workplace related noises.
What is a Spirometry? A spirometry test measures a person’s lung function capacity by measuring how much air is inhaled and exhaled. The lung function test makes it possible to identify low or declining pulmonary ability through workplace dusts, mists, fumes, gases vapours etc.
Your Role:
• Complete Audiometric, Spirometry, Respirator/Ear plug Fit Testing services to various clients in the mining, construction, and health care sectors
• Manage data from all tests performed
