Health surveillance or monitoring of employees is a regulatory requirement for employers in situations where an employee may be exposed to certain hazardous substances in the course of performing their required duties.
What is required is periodic monitoring of employees to determine whether working these substances or performing high-risk activities is having a negative effect on their health.
This can involve medical examination, medical imaging, pathology and other types of testing (such as audiometry or spirometry), or a combination of these depending on the type of hazard/s involved.
