Advice Welcome to our Advice page. It is important when receiving or enquiring about Occupational Health services that all individuals understand what is required to be assessed by law, but also any rights reserved by individuals. It is also important to understand our policies and abide by HSE (Health and Safety Executive) regulations. Links to various pages of advice can be found below. Advice for Managers Advice for Employees Advice from HSE Job Specific Advice The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 and Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 provide the framework for the Health Surveillance requirements in the UK. The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) requirements for health surveillance vary significantly between different trades and workplace hazards. Under the HSE there are trades requiring Mandatory Health Surveillance where it is a legal requirement for these industries to ensure correct health surveillance checks for all their workers. These include; Construction and Industrial Businesses ; for example, workers using vibration tools, Asbestos workers, Stonemasons, Foundry workers and Lead workers, Employees in Chemical and Laboratory Work ; employees exposed to carcinogens (cancer producing) or mutagens (cause mutations) , or substances toxic to reproduction and those in work where they are handling biological agents. Staff in Healthcare ; Radiographers exposed to radiation, workers handling cytotoxic drugs and those at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Workers in Agriculture ; those individuals exposed to pesticides, or Zoonotic disease from sheep. Workers in General Industries ; Compressed Air workers (divers, caisson workers), workers exposed to loud noise above action level and shift workers in safety critical roles. Sensitizers are substances that can cause an allergic reaction in the lungs and/or skin after exposure. There are numerous sensitizers in existence, but once an individual is allergic to one or several of these, even a minute amount of a substance can cause a severe reaction such as Occupational Asthma, or Contact Dermatitis. All employers must provide appropriate health surveillance where there is reasonable likelihood that disease, or ill-health may occur and valid surveillance techniques exist. In addition to the list above, other industries are also recommended to undertake health surveillance checks on their workforce. Please see below some examples of what health surveillance is recommended for your job role. If your job role is not listed, please contact Peak Occupational Health for advice.

Health Surveillance Industrial Chemical Health Checks For employees who work with solvents, workplace sensitisers and metal working fluids etc. Lone Working Assessments This assessment is required as a screening tool for individuals who work on their own and who could be at risk if they have any underlying medical, physical or mental health problems. Confined Space Assessments Following a company policy, this assessment is applicable for screening any individual who may have to work in an enclosed space as part of their job role. The intention is to ensure that any individual is safe to work in this type of situation and does not have an underlying medical condition, that would pose a risk to themselves or others. Working At Heights Assessments Medical screening for individuals who work at height, is used to ensure that these workers are physically and mentally capable of performing their jobs safely and able to minimalize the risk of personal injury through falls, or injuries to others. This can mean work at height in any place where there are no formal procedures. Night Worker Assessments Under the Working Time Regulations employees who work shifts should be offered an annual assessment to ensure that their shift pattern, or permanent night work, does not have any impact on their physical and mental wellbeing. Fitness to Operate Forklift Trucks These assessments ensure that drivers of company vehicles, forklift trucks, cranes and mobile elevated platforms are medically fit to operate them. Decisions regarding medical fitness to drive will be in accordance with the latest DVLA "At a Glance" guide. This includes physical health checks, mental and emotional health checks, vision, and hearing tests in line with this guidance. This assessment also ensures company compliance with HSE statutory requirements Display Screen Assessments This ergonomic assessment is used to ensure that employees who work with display screens are protected from developing musculoskeletal injury and are routinely screened for any visual problems and underlying medical health issues, such as photo sensitive epilepsy. Well Person Checks Companies often offer these health checks as a benefit to their employees. These assessments are there to identify any unknown or underlying health problems that may affect the employee’s long-term performance at work. They can include checks for diabetes, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels and cardiac risk scores.
