Health surveillance programs

What are health surveillance programs?

Health surveillance programs are structured medical monitoring programs for workers exposed to workplace hazards. They are designed to detect early signs of work-related illness, confirm fitness for work, and support compliance with regulatory requirements.

Unlike one-off assessments, these programs are tailored to your workforce based on job roles, hazard prevention plans, exposure risks, and compliance obligations.

What’s included?

Programs are designed around your workforce, risk profile, and compliance requirements, and may include:

• Hazard and role mapping
• Surveillance protocol design
• Baseline and periodic testing schedules
• Clinical oversight and workflows
• Program tracking, trend analysis, and compliance reporting
• Employee communication and follow-up management

How does it work?

Depending on workplace requirements, programs may include:

• Audiometry (hearing testing)
• Spirometry / pulmonary function testing
• Vision testing
• Respirator medical clearance and fit testing
• Blood and urine testing (e.g., chemicals, heavy metals)
• Chest imaging (when clinically indicated)
• Health questionnaires
• Functional or physical testing
• Drug and alcohol testing & substance use monitoring programs
• Other hazard-specific assessments

Each program includes defined schedules, follow-up protocols, and clinical oversight to ensure appropriate escalation where required.

What will I receive?

Reporting is provided at both individual and program level.

Employees receive clear results and any required follow-up actions.

Employers receive aggregate reporting showing participation, clearance status, and key trends.

Over time, this supports year-over-year analysis to identify emerging risks and improve program effectiveness.
