Asbestos Physicals

An Asbestos Physical is required for workers exposed to asbestos fibers in certain industries, such as construction, demolition, or shipyard work. Asbestos exposure can lead to serious health issues, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma, making regular monitoring essential.

What an Asbestos Physical Includes

• Pulmonary function testing (PFT): Measures how well your lungs are working.
• Chest X-rays: Detects any lung abnormalities or scarring caused by asbestos.
• Physical examination: Includes respiratory and cardiovascular assessments to check for signs of asbestos-related diseases.
• Review of medical and exposure history: Ensures that the patient’s exposure level is understood for appropriate monitoring.
