Health surveillance
Find problems early. Stay compliant always.
Health surveillance means systematically monitoring employees’ health with regular assessments, so they’re protected and supported at work. For many hazards it’s a legal requirement.
Our programmes
Six assessments. One visit.
We combine programmes into single on-site clinics wherever we can, so a worker who needs audiometry, spirometry and HAVS screening is seen once, not three times.
