Health surveillance and health monitoring are essential regulatory requirements for employers whose employees may be exposed to hazardous substances while performing their duties. If you’re a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU), you are required to provide health monitoring to employees if they face significant risks due to such exposures.
These processes involve regular and systematic monitoring to assess whether working with hazardous materials or engaging in high-risk activities is negatively affecting employees’ health. This monitoring may include a variety of assessments such as medical examinations, imaging, pathology, and specific testing methods like audiometry or spirometry, depending on the type of hazard involved.
