Hearing and Respiratory Surveillance in Mining: Are You Covering the Risks That Matter Most?

Mining environments expose workers to some of the highest-risk occupational hazards in Canada. Noise levels, airborne contaminants, and respirable dust are part of daily operations. Most organizations recognize the risk, but many programs still fall short when it comes to consistent, compliant surveillance.

Spirometry Testing Has Returned – Here’s What You Need to Know

Employers are required by provincial legislation to implement protective measures in workplaces with known respiratory hazards (e.g., coal dust, asbestos, silica, isocyanates). The goal is to prevent workers from inhaling such hazards, which could cause occupational lung diseases and other complications over the course of their employment. Legislation can vary by province.
