Respiratory Health Surveillance is a targeted occupational health assessment that evaluates a worker’s lung function to identify early signs of conditions such as asthma, COPD, or other respiratory issues linked to workplace hazards. These evaluations go beyond basic medical checks—focusing specifically on how respiratory exposures impact lung capacity and health.
Typically conducted via spirometry tests, these assessments measure the volume of air a person can inhale and exhale and assess lung performance. Alongside testing, your medical review includes a tailored health history and exposure assessment, and, where necessary, a physical examination of the chest and lungs—helping you protect your team, manage risk, and meet regulatory standards.
Our respiratory health surveillance programmes identify early signs of work-related breathing problems and help you manage risk from dusts, fumes and chemicals. We tailor testing to your exposures so you protect people, reduce absence and maintain HSE compliance.
Spirometry (lung function): measures airflow and capacity to detect obstruction or restriction.
Targeted health questionnaire: symptoms, history, PPE use and exposure detail.
Clinical review: where indicated, chest examination and advice on next steps.
Follow-up & referral: escalation where results or symptoms require further clinical review.
Workers exposed to respiratory sensitisers or irritants, such as flour dust, isocyanates (spray paints/PU foams), welding fumes, wood dust, silica, metalworking fluids and other airborne hazards. Programme scope is set from your risk assessment.
