Health Surveillance and Monitoring
Ongoing health monitoring for workers exposed to workplace hazards, helping employers detect early changes in health and meet their work health and safety obligations.
Workers exposed to hazards such as hazardous chemicals, airborne dusts or excessive noise can experience gradual health effects that are not always noticed straight away. Health surveillance tracks these workers over time, so any early signs of change can be identified and acted on before they develop into a more serious condition.
Under Australian work health and safety laws, health monitoring is required for workers exposed to certain hazardous substances, and must be carried out under the supervision of a registered medical practitioner. Through a structured program, Evaluate Medicolegal helps employers establish a clear baseline for each worker and track changes at regular intervals.
What Health Monitoring Can Include
- Baseline assessment at the start of exposure
- Periodic testing at set intervals
- Tracking of changes over time
- Reporting and recommendations for the employer
Early Detection
Identifying Health Changes Before They Become Injuries
Regular monitoring makes it possible to spot small changes in a worker's health early, giving employers the opportunity to review controls and reduce exposure before harm occurs.
- Early warning of exposure-related health effects
- Evidence to review and improve workplace controls
- Consistent records for each monitored worker
- Clear, practical findings for decision-makers
