Health Surveillance Scotland
Workplace health monitoring
We examine, risk-assess and monitor workplace health for employees who are exposed to specific hazards at work. This helps detect any early signs of a work-related illness, allowing action to be taken to prevent it from worsening. This monitoring includes:
- Audiometric testing for workers exposed to loud noise in manufacturing, construction, or other noisy environments
- Respiratory health for those exposed to dust, fumes, or other airborne substances that can cause respiratory problems, such as wood dust, flour dust, or solder fumes
- Vision evaluations for crane operators and other individuals whose eyesight is vital to their safety on the job
- Skin surveillance for employees who regularly handle chemicals, oils, or other substances that can cause dermatitis
- Musculoskeletal conditions to recognise injury or disease affecting the joints, bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments
- Night shift assessments, consisting of an initial assessment and subsequent annual assessments for night shift employees
- Display screen equipment assessments for people who use computers, laptops, or CCTV for part of their working day
- Face fit testing to ensure RPE (Respiratory Protective Equipment) fits correctly and provides protection from dust, fumes, and other harmful substances in the workplace
