## We baseline, we recall, we report. You stay current.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act, employers must monitor the health of workers exposed to noise, dust, fumes and other hazards. Prequal schemes and main contractors ask for proof. Without it you lose site access, tenders and time. We run the tests at your workplace and hand you the documentation.

Schemes: WorkSafe NZ health monitoring, SiteWise, Tōtika, Main contractor prequal.

### 1. Baseline every exposed worker

Hearing, lung function and vision baselines on induction, so change over time can be shown.

### 2. Recall and repeat on schedule

We track who is due and come back to your site, so monitoring never lapses between audits.

### 3. Reports you can hand over

Employer summaries and individual results, formatted for your H&S file and prequal submissions.

## Three services. One visit.

Everything is delivered at your workplace. Group bookings for teams of any size, results reported back to you.

- [Workplace Health Monitoring](https://careandprotect.co.nz/services/workplace-health-monitoring/): Annual hearing, lung function and vision monitoring for staff exposed to noise, dust, fumes and vibration. From $85 per worker.

## Why a paramedic runs your health monitoring

Dominique Askham spent years in emergency care before moving into occupational health in 2016. She has seen what a missed hearing loss or an untreated lung condition looks like at the pointy end. That is why Care & Protect pushes baselines, chases recall dates and writes reports you can actually use. One clinician, start to finish. The person who did your baseline is the person who does your recall.

- Paramedic background, emergency care experience
- Occupational health testing since 2016
- Mobile clinic, we come to your site
- Confidential handling of employee health data

## First aid courses at your workplace

Essential, Comprehensive and Refresher first aid courses run at your premises, so your whole team is trained together. Groups of up to 30. Meet your workplace first aider requirements without losing a day off-site.

## Questions about workplace health monitoring

### Do we legally have to do health monitoring?

If your workers are exposed to hazards like noise, dust, silica, welding fumes, isocyanates or vibration, the Health and Safety at Work Act expects you to monitor their health, not just hand out PPE. In practice that means a baseline on induction and repeat testing at set intervals. Prequal schemes such as SiteWise and Tōtika, and many main contractors, ask for the records. We can help you work out what applies to your site, but the employer remains responsible for meeting its legal duties.

### Is this the same as workplace exposure monitoring?

No. Exposure monitoring (an occupational hygienist testing the air, noise levels or dust) tells you what your workers are exposed to. Health monitoring tests the worker to show whether your controls and PPE are actually protecting them. Together they close the loop. We do the health side.

### Can't our staff just go to a GP?

They can. It costs you half a shift per worker: drive there, wait, drive back. On-site, each worker is off the floor for about 25 minutes and we test the whole team in rotation.

### What does it cost?

Hearing and lung function monitoring starts from $85 per worker. For teams of 18 or more we quote a full-day session rate, so you book the day, not the head, and no-shows don't cost you. Under 5 workers a call-out fee applies. Every quote is fixed and sent within one business day.

### We only have a small team. Can you still come?

Yes, from 5 workers we price per head. Under 5 a call-out fee applies to cover the visit. If you're outside Auckland or Waikato with a small team, tell us anyway: we can sometimes group you with a nearby booking.

### Do you travel outside Auckland and Waikato?

Yes, for multi-site or larger programmes we work nationwide. Travel is quoted upfront so there are no surprises. Taupō and Rotorua are covered as standard.

### What if a worker's results come back below normal?

They are referred to the appropriate medical professional for further assessment and you get a fitness-for-work summary. Individual results stay confidential to the worker. Early referral is the point: it catches a problem before it becomes an injury, a claim or a WorkSafe notice.

### Will staff push back about privacy?

Individual results are confidential and go to the worker. The employer receives a summary of fitness and any recommended actions, not the medical detail. We explain this to every worker on the day, which is usually enough.

### Will your reports satisfy SiteWise, Tōtika or our main contractor?

Yes. You receive an employer summary and individual records formatted for your H&S file and prequal submissions. If your auditor needs a specific format, tell us and we'll match it.

### We already have a provider. Why switch?

Fixed quotes in a day, the same clinician every visit, and we chase your recall dates so monitoring never lapses between audits. If that's not what you're getting now, get a quote and compare.

### What information do you need for a quote?

Which service, approximate number of staff, and your workplace location. If you're not sure which tests apply, describe the hazards or roles and we'll recommend a programme.
