Welcome to...

Under various legislation employers hold a legal responsibility to ensure that the workplace and the physical work processes people undertake or are exposed to are fully risk assessed and hazards are controlled, by carrying out workplace surveys to identify sources of ill health. If assessment of risks and measures are not taken to eliminate, reduce, control and monitor these, the employer could be liable to prosecution.

​

Health Surveillance is the term given to regular ongoing monitoring for potential health implications, those in which are identified through the risk assessment process with regards to specific tasks employees may carry out as part of their job. It assists in the early identification of possible health issues and enables prompt remedial action to be taken. For specific processes where the identified hazards cannot be fully eliminated, health surveillance is required.
