What is health surveillance?
Health surveillance is a system of ongoing health checks that is used to monitor the impact of exposure to specific workplace hazards on a person’s health over time.
It allows employers to:
- Detect early signs of occupationally induced illness so you can take action to prevent problems getting worse.
- Measure how well your control measures are working and determine where changes or further interventions are needed.
- Identify opportunities to provide employees with additional education and training on the correct use of protective equipment, safe working practices and the importance of early reporting of health concerns.
- Stay compliant with your statutory obligations and all relevant health and safety laws.
