Health Surveillance
Following a detailed review and risk assessment of the organisation's current statutory health surveillance requirements, Health Management would provide sufficient onsite staff to ensure that the organisation are cost effectively complying with relevant Health & Safety legislation, in particular:
- Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
- Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992
- Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981
- Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002
- Specialist legislation relating to specific chemicals, substances or risks
The level of resourcing required would be determined after an initial risk assessment and in conjunction with the organisation's Health & Safety team. Surveillance may include the following:
- Audiology assessments
- Cardio respiratory and dermatology investigations for COSHH
- Drivers and fork lift truck operator's assessments
- Food handlers assessments
- Vibration, HAVS and manual handling assessments
- Cold storage reviews
- Night workers screening
- Breathing apparatus and confined space medicals
- Ergonomic and DSE assessments
- Drug and alcohol screening including chain of custody requirements, if necessary
- Industry specific assessments.
By using specialist Audiologist, Cardio-Respiratory Technicians and Occupational Health Nurses, we are able to carry out thorough diagnostic assessments, which allow us to better identify illness and defend claims more robustly.
Aside from supplying a nurse or team to work on site, Health Management also takes responsibility for the provision of full administration support and development of COSHH compliant health records and reports.
