Warehousing and logistics

Clear surveillance pathways for varied roles, shifts and locations.

Use tasks, substances and measured exposure, rather than the industry label alone, to decide who enters a surveillance programme.

Relevant hazards to assess

  • Noise from equipment and operational areas
  • Vibration from relevant tools or tasks
  • Dusts, exhaust emissions and cleaning substances
  • Skin exposure from products, wet work or chemicals

Workforce and site logistics

Round-the-clock operations, seasonal labour and multi-site teams make accurate worker lists and appointment communication essential. The programme should distinguish surveillance from unrelated fitness or wellbeing checks.

A suitable programme pathway

Identify the roles with relevant residual exposure, verify which checks are indicated, then build a consistent reporting and recall pathway that can follow workers across sites.

Potential pathways

These links are guidance only. The risk assessment determines whether surveillance is appropriate.

Noise

Audiometry

Hearing surveillance can help identify early signs of noise-related hearing damage where a workplace noise risk assessment indicates a risk to health.

Dust, fumes and respiratory sensitisers

Spirometry

Spirometry measures lung function and may form part of surveillance for employees exposed to respiratory hazards where the risk-led criteria are met.

Skin irritants, sensitisers and wet work

Skin surveillance

Regular skin checks may be appropriate where employees remain exposed to substances or work patterns associated with occupational dermatitis.
