Health surveillance
Health surveillance means regularly looking for early signs of work related ill health and putting procedures in place to achieve this.
The purpose of health surveillance is to monitor and protect the health of individual employees.
Collecting simple information may lead to early detection of ill health caused by work and identify the need for improved control measures.
All employees exposed or likely to be exposed to an asthmagen should receive suitable health surveillance.
The specific requirements are set out in COSHH and might involve examinations by a doctor or trained nurse.
