Occupational Health in Oil and Gas: Are Your Hearing Conservation and Respiratory Programs Keeping Pace with Industry Risks?

Oil and gas operations expose workers to some of the most demanding occupational health and safety hazards in Canada. From drilling sites and processing facilities to terminals and refineries, workers may encounter high noise levels and respiratory hazards as part of their daily work. 

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.
