Health Monitoring
Every year 600-900 people die prematurely because of work-related ill health. The Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 requires employers to monitor the health of their employees if they are exposed to health hazards.
Hazards may include dust, gases, fumes, fibre as well as
noise. If employees are exposed to hazards the company must arrange for annual health monitoring to ensure any changes in the employee’s health are detected early. This helps to prevent occupational illness and disease and ensure that companies are compliant with health and safety legislation.
