When you’re running a business—especially in industries like construction, manufacturing, agriculture, or engineering—it’s easy to focus on the day-to-day. Deadlines, production, staff, logistics… the list never ends. But here’s one thing that shouldn’t be pushed to the bottom of the list: your team’s lung health.

At Milne Safety, we provide on-site lung function testing across Norfolk and the East of England, making it easy for you to protect your employees and meet your legal responsibilities.

So, What Is Lung Function Testing?

Lung function testing (also known as spirometry) is a simple, non-invasive way to check how well someone’s lungs are working. It’s often used in health surveillance for people who might be exposed to dust, fumes, vapours, or other airborne hazards at work.

Think of it like an MOT for your lungs—it helps spot any issues early, so they don’t become bigger problems down the line.

Why Should Businesses Bother?

• Protect Your People – Exposure to airborne substances can lead to serious health issues like asthma, COPD, or occupational lung disease. Regular testing helps catch warning signs early, so your team can get support before it gets worse.
• Stay Legally Compliant – If your workplace involves exposure to hazardous substances, the law says you need to carry out health surveillance. Lung function testing helps you tick that box and show you’re doing everything you can to keep your staff safe.

Our team is friendly, qualified, and used to working in all sorts of workplace environments. We know how to get the job done with minimal disruption to your day.
