What is health surveillance?
Health surveillance involves systematically monitoring the health of employees exposed to certain risks in order to identify early signs of work-related ill health. In certain industries and/or job roles health surveillance measures are required by law under health and safety regulations such as COSHH (Control of substances hazardous to health) and the Control of Noise at Work Regulations, 2005.
