Maintaining a healthy workforce in a safe environment is essential for employee well‑being, business continuity, and compliance with UK health and safety legislation. Under HSE guidance and regulations such as COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health), employers must carry out health surveillance for employees exposed to certain workplace hazards.
All medicals are carried out by our qualified Occupational Health Technicians using calibrated equipment in our Mobile Medical Units or on‑site clinics.
Our tailored health surveillance programmes are designed to:
Identify health concerns early for timely intervention and treatment
Gather valuable health risk data to strengthen your risk management strategy
Ensure compliance with HSE requirements
Provide Fit for Work medicals for safety‑critical roles
Highlight training needs to improve workplace safety awareness
We offer a comprehensive range of assessments, including:
Vision screening
Early detection of work‑related ill health can reduce sickness absence, improve productivity, and address risks before they escalate — all while demonstrating a clear duty of care towards your employees.
This is a pro-active measure that provides clinical testing and questionnaires for employees exposed to health hazards, including excessive noise, dust, chemicals and hand transmitted vibration. In many cases, this is a legal requirement for employers.
Depending upon your role, you may require a health surveillance medical, if you are exposed to health hazards, including excessive noise, dust, chemicals and offhand transmitted vibration. This can help to make sure that any potential ill health effects are detected as early as possible
The health surveillance medical can include some or all of the following tests: Audiometry, HAVS, Skin Assessment, Spirometry, Urine and Blood Samples. Part of the assessment is based on confidential health questionnaires which will be completed with the Clarity Occupational Health Technician during the appointment.
Occupational health surveillance is undertaken regularly. How often you will need to have an assessment depends upon your job function, working environment and risk assessments. Please consult with your Line Manager, or Human Resource Department for further information.
The Occupational Health team will assess the condition, and advise if further investigation or treatment is required. If so, you may be asked to arrange a review with your GP.
In some cases, you may be referred for review with an OHA or OHP. (see Management referral FAQ’s).
All medical records will be retained by Clarity Occupational Health. Confidentiality will be maintained at all stages of the Occupational Health Process. Managers will not be given access to medical records but will be given an outcome summary. Under the General Data Protection Act (GDPR 2018) and Access to Medical Records Act (1988), you have the right to see your medical records upon submission of a written request. Clarity Occupational Health is accredited by SEQOHS and maintains its records with the strictest protocols in line with this accreditation.
Protect your workforce. Stay compliant. Minimise disruption.
