Instant Drug and Alcohol (Urine)

Quantitative Respirator Fit Testing uses specialised equipement to measure how well a respirator seals to the wearer's face. It provides a numerical fit factor to ensure the respirator offers the level of protection required by Australian Standards.

A poorly fitted respirator may allow hazardous airborne contaminants such as asbestos fibres, silica dust, mould spores, fumes and other harmful particles to bypass the mask seal. Fit Testing helps ensure workers recieve the protection their respirator is designed to provide.

Fit testing should be completed before a worker first uses a tight-fitting respirator and repeated at least every 12 months, or whenever there is a change that may affect the fit. Such as significant weight change, facial surgery, or changing to a different respirator make or model.

3M EARfit Validation measures how effectively a worker's hearing protection reduces noise exposure. It provides a Personal Attenuation Rating (PAR) allowing employers to confirm each worker is achieving adequate hearing protection.

Every person wears earplugs differently. EarFit Testing confimes ath athe selected hearing protection fits correctly and provides sufficient noise reduction, helping prevent noise-induced hearing loss.

AARCO provides both instant workplace Drug & Alcohol Testing and laboratory confirmed testing through NATA-accredited pathology services, depending on your workplace requirements and policies.

Yes. We provide onsite testing across the Pilbara and can also conduct testing from our Karratha Office. This minimises downtime and makes it easy to test individual workers or entire crews.

Yes. Workers must be clean shaven wherever the respirator seals against the face. Facial hair in the sealing area can prevent an adequate seal and may result in a failed fit test.

Our servies are widely used by the mining, construction, oil & gas, manufacturing, commercial, industrial and government sectors, as well as any workplace where respiratory protection, hearing protection or fitness for work is required.
