Project Based Services
Standard scheduling doesn't always cut it. When you're running a major project mobilisation, a planned shutdown, a large recruitment drive, or a multi-day testing program across a workforce of hundreds — you need a WHS testing partner who can plan, scale, and deliver without blinking. Hayden Health & Safety has built a reputation for being the team that shows up, adapts, and gets it done — whatever the hours, whatever the volume, wherever the site.
What Are Project Based Services?
Project based services are specialised WHS testing programs designed for situations that require more than routine scheduling can accommodate. They're built around the unique demands of your project — the number of people involved, the timing constraints, the site location, the shift structure, and the specific tests required — rather than asking your project to fit around a standard service model.
These engagements typically involve one or more of the following: a large volume of workers to be tested in a compressed timeframe; testing across 24-hour or multi-shift operations; an urgent mobilisation or pre-project compliance requirement; a planned shutdown where all contractors must be cleared before work commences; or a geographically specific or remote site that requires special logistics planning to service.
What to Expect
Our project based service offering spans the full range of WHS testing services — combined, sequenced, and scaled to match the specific requirements of your program. We work with you during the planning phase to design a testing program that covers everything your project, site, or contractor requirements demand.
1
Baseline and monitoring audiometric testing for large workforces, conducted efficiently using our dual-booth testing van. Ideal for project mobilisations and shutdown programs where all workers require a hearing baseline before commencing work.
2
Pre-exposure and monitoring spirometry screening for workers entering environments with airborne hazards — including dust, fumes, and chemicals. Often required as part of a comprehensive pre-project health clearance package.
3
Quantitative fit testing for workers required to use tight-fitting respirators on the project. We can process multiple workers in sequence, ensuring everyone has a valid, documented fit before they're exposed to respiratory hazards on site.
4
Blanket pre-mobilisation testing, random ongoing testing throughout a project, post-incident testing, and for-cause testing — all with chain-of-custody protocols and NATA/RCPA-accredited laboratory confirmation. Available across all shifts, including early morning starts and overnight operations.
5
Role-based health assessments for large intakes of new workers or contractors, ensuring everyone brought onto a project is genuinely fit for the physical demands of their role before they set foot on site.
6
Site noise mapping and personal dosimetry monitoring to establish noise exposure baselines at project commencement — informing hearing protection requirements and noise control strategies for the project lifecycle.
How We Work
Why NSW's Largest Projects Trust Hayden Health & Safety
Project timelines don't bend for testing schedules — so ours do. We've started testing at 4am to catch night-shift workers and kept going until 8:30pm to clear the last crew of the day. We plan our programs around your roster, your shift structure, and your site access requirements — because that's what it takes to get every single worker covered within your project window.
Our purpose-built testing vehicles are designed to process large numbers of people efficiently. Our flagship van's dual hearing booths allow us to test more workers per hour than most competitors. Our experienced team works methodically through high volumes without cutting corners on accuracy, chain of custody, or documentation — every result is as reliable as if it were the only test we ran that day.
Many project testing programs require multiple services to be delivered together — hearing assessments, drug and alcohol screening, spirometry, and fit testing all in the same mobilisation window. We coordinate the full program as a single engagement, sequencing each service logically to minimise your workers' time away from their duties and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks between providers.
Project timelines often compress without warning. When you need a large testing program stood up quickly — whether it's a shutdown brought forward, a mobilisation accelerated, or a compliance gap identified late — you need a provider who can plan fast and move fast. As a family-run business where decisions are made by the people doing the work, we respond quickly and mobilise without the delays that come with larger, more bureaucratic organisations.
Shift work, rotating rosters, 24-hour operations, split crews across multiple locations — these aren't complications we avoid, they're the environments we're built for. We've designed and delivered testing programs across some of NSW's most complex operational schedules, and we know how to structure a program that gets every worker tested within compliance timeframes without grinding your operation to a halt.
At the end of your project testing program, you'll have a complete, audit-ready record of every test conducted — who was tested, when, with what result, and what follow-up was recommended. For projects with principal contractor requirements, regulatory reporting obligations, or internal WHS governance standards, this documentation is essential — and we make sure it's thorough, accurate, and delivered promptly.
Compliance & Regulations
Large-scale projects — particularly in civil construction, mining, energy, and heavy industry — often carry elevated compliance obligations that go beyond standard workplace testing requirements. Principal contractors, project owners, and regulatory bodies may impose specific health screening and fitness-for-work requirements as conditions of engagement or site access.
Meeting these obligations across a large, multi-contractor workforce within the compressed timeline of a project mobilisation or shutdown is one of the most significant WHS coordination challenges any site manager faces.
Our project based services are specifically designed to help you meet those obligations — at scale, on time, and with the documentation to prove it.
What Project Based Delivery Looks Like in Practice
Over 3–4 days on site, the Hayden Health & Safety team conducted hearing assessments and noise assessments across the full Bindaree workforce. Testing began as early as 4am to capture the first shift and continued through to 8:30pm to clear workers coming off the afternoon shift. Scheduling was coordinated to minimise disruption to production, with workers processed efficiently through our testing van without lengthy delays.
The result: every worker tested, full compliance records delivered, and a seamless experience for both the Bindaree WHS team and their workforce.
