Coal Workers' Health Surveillance

Eagle Onsite is a NIOSH-approved Mobile Spirometry Facility.

Our technicians are NIOSH Certified and ready to deploy nationally on-demand. As a premier spirometry facility, our test results consistently exceed industry standards for overall session quality.

Spirometry, the most common type of pulmonary function test (PFT), is used to evaluate worker respiratory health in medical surveillance programs and to screen workers for their ability to perform certain work tasks.

We utilize the ‘gold standard’ in spirometry equipment – ndd’s Easy on-PC diagnostic devices with TrueFlow™ technology.  The Easy on-PC software provides real-time graphs and animated incentive graphics to enhance the user experience and achieve maximum test results.  Instant session quality feedback is provided on-screen with both graded statements and descriptive suggestions to optimize worker test performance.
