Stage 1
Initial employer enquiry
Share hazard, exposure-group, workforce, site and scheduling information. No employee medical data is needed.
A transparent process
From workplace risk to clear programme action.
A useful programme connects the risk assessment, worker experience, clinical interpretation, employer action and future recall.
Stage 2
Review of risk and requirements
Check what the risk assessment says, which regulations may apply and whether higher-hazard medical surveillance needs a specific route.
Stage 3
Programme recommendation
Define suitable assessment methods, inclusion criteria, competent roles, reporting and escalation.
Stage 4
Scheduling and communication
Plan sites, shifts, appointment lengths, employee information, consent and suitable assessment space.
Stage 5
Assessments delivered
Complete the indicated checks in an appropriate environment with quality controls and confidentiality.
Stage 6
Clinical review and follow-up
Interpret findings, communicate with the employee and arrange proportionate escalation or referral.
Stage 7
Employer reporting and recall
Provide work-relevant outcomes, highlight programme actions and plan future reviews based on the applicable schedule.
Not a one-off exercise
The loop matters.
Surveillance findings can indicate that the risk assessment or exposure controls need review. The programme should also account for new starters, role changes, missed appointments and workers who report symptoms between planned recalls.
