FAQ
What’s the difference between health screening and health surveillance?
Health screening checks if someone is fit to conduct a particular job role, often before starting work. Health surveillance, on the other hand, monitors employees’ health over time when they’re exposed to specific risks at work (e.g. noise, vibration, dust).
Who needs health screening?
Health screening is essential for individuals in safety-critical or physically demanding roles, such as construction workers, plant operators, offshore personnel, or those working at height or in confined spaces.
Are your screenings compliant with UK legislation?
Yes. Our screening services follow guidelines set by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), industry standards, and client-specific requirements.
Can we arrange screenings for groups of employees?
Absolutely. We offer flexible group bookings, helping you minimise downtime and streamline onboarding or renewals.
How often should screening be conducted?
Screening frequency depends on the job role and risk level. Many safety-critical roles require testing annually, or more often for re-certification or after medical incidents.
