Health surveillance is a system of ongoing health checks that detect any harmful changes to someone’s health. The checks are proactive and look for indicators of physical and mental stress, including anxiety, depression, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. These tests can sometimes be required by law, particularly if you work in an industry with solvents, fumes, dust, or biological agents.

Health surveillance is important for detecting the early signs of illness, providing data to help with the evaluation of health risks, and highlighting any lapses within the current system that need to be worked on.

The aim is to provide advice to managers on employees fit for work status. Upon the completion of health surveillance, the employer will receive a non-confidential health record for each individual, advising them on whether the employee is either “fit”, “fit with restrictions” or “unfit to work”.

Using group statistics, where appropriate, collated from the health surveillance outcomes, we can assess if the control measures that are currently in place are substantial/can enable you to shape workplace health initiatives.

Our health surveillance services are always tailored to your needs and delivered either from our clinics (which can be more cost effective), or direct at your sites, causing minimal disruption to your business.
