COSHH

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations require that workers exposed to chemical, biological or significant dust hazards in their work should be protected by a hierarchy of control measures including avoiding the hazardous agent, substituting a less hazardous agent or provision of control measures including personal protective equipment.

Health surveillance is recommended where there are significant hazards to health and it is possible to detect early symptoms or signs of ill health arising from exposure to hazardous agents. This may comprise health observations, questionnaires or medical examination including possible biological monitoring. 

WellWork’s Regional Service Centres can arrange appropriate health surveillance either at our well equipped clinics or by arrangement on-site by our team of occupational health technicians, nurses and physicians with access to specialist laboratory services.
