Employers hold a vital duty of care to ensure the health and safety of their workers in the workplace, particularly in environments where occupational hazards pose potential risks. Health Surveillance programs, mandated under Work Health & Safety Regulations, play a pivotal role in identifying, preventing, and managing exposure to such hazards, ranging from noise and vibration to chemical agents and biological substances.
At Newcastle Health Solutions, we offer comprehensive Health Surveillance programs tailored to meet the specific needs of your organisation. Whether conducted onsite at your location or at our facility, these programs are designed to mitigate health risks and safeguard the well-being of your workforce.
Identification and assessment of exposure to various hazardous substances, including Crystalline Silica, Asbestos, Pesticides, Herbicides, Isocyanate Spraypaints, Cytotoxic Agents, Heavy Metals such as Lead, and PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) including Petrochemicals.
Customised medical assessments to evaluate the health status of workers and detect early signs of occupational health issues. This may include hearing tests, lung function tests, and skin care/cancer assessments tailored to your industry and workplace environment.
Ensuring the effectiveness of personal protective equipment (PPE) through fit testing, a critical component in safeguarding workers against exposure to airborne contaminants. Fit testing ensures that respiratory protective equipment, such as masks and respirators, provides an adequate seal to protect against inhalation hazards.
By implementing Health Surveillance programs, employers not only fulfill their legal obligations but also demonstrate a commitment to proactively managing health and safety risks in the workplace. Regular monitoring and assessment of your workers health not only prevent occupational illnesses but also contribute to a healthier and more productive workforce.
