Health Surveillance
Health Surveillance is a preventative occupational health service designed to monitor the health of employees who may be exposed to specific workplace hazards. The aim is to identify the early signs of work-related ill health, helping organisations support their employees and reduce the risk of long-term occupational disease.
Health Surveillance
Whilst Health Surveillance is not currently a legal requirement in Jersey, many organisations—particularly those operating across the UK or following recognised health and safety best practice—choose to implement health surveillance programmes as part of their wider commitment to employee health.
Who May Benefit?
Health Surveillance is commonly used within industries where employees are exposed to workplace hazards, including:
- Construction
- Engineering
- Manufacturing
- Utilities
- Facilities Management
- Agriculture
- Marine & Port Operations
Health Surveillance May Include
Depending on the risks identified within your workplace, surveillance programmes may include:
- Audiometry (Hearing Tests)
- Lung Function Testing (Spirometry)
- Skin Assessments
- Hand-Arm Vibration Monitoring
- Respiratory Health Questionnaires
- Vision Screening
- Other risk-specific health surveillance as appropriate
Every programme should be based on your workplace risk assessment and tailored to the hazards your employees are exposed to.
