Health Checks/Surveillance
Surveillance refers to the careful monitoring of employee health to ensure they are not at risk from their working environment or a risk to each other. Whilst this is a mandatory requirement of an employer’s ‘duty of care’ to employees working in higher risk roles (such as hazardous substance handling), it has significant benefits when applied to all staff. Active health surveillance can identify any issues or potential issues early on – preventing them from developing into illnesses that could result in costly absences from work.
Assessments
We provide a comprehensive range of health assessments that can be carried out at your premises – in one of our specially-equipped mobile units (see the 3D screening vehicle tour) or in a designated room – or at one of our centres across the UK.
Common assessments that we regularly undertake include:
In all cases, our convenient online booking system removes a level of administration by allowing employees to arrange their own appointments. The system also delivers concise reports on service usage to your management team (see the useful screening event demo).
We also offer the full range of industry-specific health assessments such as:
Audiometry tests for those exposed to high levels of noise.
Hand-arm vibration assessments to test for hand-arm vibration syndrome (commonly known as HAVS) for those using hand-held vibrating tools.
Skin assessments for those exposed to skin irritants (e.g. chemicals).
Drug screening.
Advice
In most instances, regular surveillance helps us to spot the early warning signs of health problems and allows us to give practical lifestyle advice that can prevent the issue from developing into an illness.
If an assessment identifies a more serious issue, we will advise the employee on a possible treatment – usually by referring them to one of our specialist occupational health advisors or their own doctor.
Wellbeing
Beyond this process of health surveillance, we also help organisations to develop a culture of wellbeing that can further enhance their performance, success and prosperity. Learn more
