Queensland businesses do not operate only in major cities. Many industrial, agricultural, mining, construction, processing and infrastructure workplaces are based in regional centres or remote locations where accessing reliable workplace testing can be more difficult.
Onsite Testing is expanding its mobile workplace testing services across regional and remote Queensland, helping employers access professional audiometric testing, respirator face fit testing and workplace noise assessments closer to where their people work.
From our Head Office in Ipswich, our sound-treated and air-conditioned mobile testing units travel directly to metropolitan, regional and remote workplaces, helping reduce worker travel, minimise operational disruption and coordinate testing around workforce and site requirements. Where access for our mobile unit is not practical, alternative audiometric testing arrangements are also available, subject to suitable ambient noise conditions.
Mobile Workplace Testing That Comes to You
Managing workplace testing can be challenging when workers are spread across multiple locations, work rotating shifts or operate far from metropolitan service providers.
Our mobile service brings testing directly to your site, allowing workers to be tested through a coordinated program rather than travelling individually to a clinic.
Depending on your requirements, we can provide:
- Audiometric testing
- Respirator face-fit testing
- Workplace noise monitoring and assessments
- Coordinated testing across multiple sites
- Testing scheduled around shifts and operational requirements
We work with you to understand your workforce, locations, site access and operational requirements and develop a practical testing schedule.

Audiometric Testing for Regional Workforces
Workers in manufacturing, construction, mining, agriculture, transport, engineering and other high-noise industries may be exposed to hazardous occupational noise.
Onsite audiometric testing allows employers to arrange workplace hearing tests without requiring each worker to travel to a clinic. Our professionally fitted, air-conditioned, sound-treated mobile units provide a controlled testing environment at your workplace, with programs co-ordinated around teams, shifts and multiple locations.
Testing programs can be tailored for:
- Small regional businesses
- Large industrial workforces
- Multiple worksites
- Contractors working across changing project locations
- Rotating and night-shift employees
- Remote operational teams
Onsite Testing is also a Pre-Qualified Supplier of Audiometric Testing for Local Government under the Local Buy Arrangement, People & Wellbeing Services (Human Resources) LB328.
Respirator Face Fit Testing at Your Workplace
Workers who use tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment need a respirator that is suitable for the individual wearer and capable of achieving an effective seal.
Our team provides qualitative and quantitative respirator face fit testing in accordance with AS/NZS 1715:2009 for suitable disposable, reusable half-face and full-face respirators. Testing can be completed at regional workplaces, project sites and industrial facilities, reducing the need for employees to travel to metropolitan testing locations.
Face fit testing may be relevant for workers exposed to:
- Silica and construction dust
- Welding fumes
- Wood dust
- Chemicals and pesticides
- Bioaerosols
- Mining and processing contaminants
- Painting and abrasive blasting hazards
- Other airborne workplace contaminants
Workers also receive practical guidance on correctly inspecting, fitting and wearing their respirator.
Workplace Noise Assessments Across Regional Queensland
Workplace noise conditions can vary considerably between sites, tasks, equipment and operating schedules.
Onsite Testing provides professional workplace noise monitoring and assessments using calibrated, industry-standard equipment. Assessments may help employers better understand noise generated by machinery, vehicles, tools, production processes and work activities.
Our team can attend regional workplaces during representative operating conditions and provide clear reporting on the areas, activities and noise sources assessed.
This service may be suitable for:
- Manufacturing and engineering facilities
- Construction and civil works
- Mines and quarries
- Ports and bulk handling facilities
- Workshops and maintenance depots
- Food and beverage processing plants
- Sawmills and timber operations
- Waste and recycling facilities
- Transport and logistics operations
- Agricultural and primary production workplaces
- Supporting Queensland’s Diverse Industries
Regional Queensland is home to a broad range of industries with different workforce structures, hazards and operational requirements.
Onsite Testing works with businesses and organisations across sectors including manufacturing, engineering, construction, government, transport, agriculture, mining, ports, energy, food processing, automotive, maritime, warehousing, education, waste management and fabrication.
We understand that a testing program suitable for a metropolitan office may not suit a remote mine, processing facility, council depot or agricultural workplace. Each service is therefore planned around the location, workforce, operating conditions and practical needs of the client.
Flexible Scheduling for Regional Operations
Regional and remote workplaces often operate around production cycles, shutdowns, seasonal requirements, project deadlines and shift rosters.
Testing can be scheduled around:
- Day and night shifts
- Shift changeovers
- Maintenance shutdowns
- Production schedules
- Vessel arrivals
- Project mobilisation
- Seasonal operations
- Multiple work groups or locations
Whether your workforce includes 10 employees or 1,000, our team can develop a practical testing program that helps minimise downtime while supporting worker health and workplace safety requirements.
