Occupational Health Surveillance

What is Occupational Health? 

At CTC, we provide a range of Health and Safety Services to help you comply with legislation. Occupational health is a vital component of workplace safety and employee well-being in the UK. Businesses are legally required to protect their workforce from health risks associated with their roles

Who needs Occupational Health Support?

Any Business that employs staff who are exposed to health risks should be looking after their employees’ welfare and health.

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSWA) is the foundational law that sets out the general duties of employers, employees, and the self-employed to ensure health, safety, and welfare at work. Employers must ensure safety “so far as is reasonably practicable,” balancing risk against cost and effort. 

We have a statutory legal responsibility to look after the health and well-being of your staff. Where workers are exposed to any of the following, even if control measures are in place, then Occupational Health will conduct the relevant testing of staff.

Vibration

COSHH substances

Dusts and fumes

Working at Height

Driving 

Asbestos

Lead

Ionising Radiation.

Why This Matters for Your Business? 

Understanding and complying with these laws is essential for: 

  • Protecting employee health and wellbeing 
  • Reducing absenteeism and improving productivity 
  • Avoiding legal penalties and reputational damage 
  • Creating a proactive safety culture 

Occupational Health and Safety Services help businesses meet these legal obligations while fostering a healthier, more resilient workforce. 

The HSE provides information on Occupational Health requirements on its website.

If your staff wear respiratory protection, they will need to be fit-tested to ensure the equipment is working. This can be completed at the same time as a medical or on-site for all your staff.

      Need help implementing an  Occupational Health solution?

      Health surveillance is a scheme of repeated health checks which are used to identify ill health caused by work. Health and safety law requires health surveillance when your workers remain exposed to health risks even after you have put controls in place. This is because control measures may not always be reliable, despite appropriate checking, training and maintenance. Health risks which require health surveillance include noisevibration and substances hazardous to health.
