Asbestos medicals
To cover regulatory requirements and your employee’s health needs under the Control of Asbestos at work Regulations 2012, the following is included:
● 45 minute appointment with a HSE Appointed Doctor with experience in assessing workers exposed to asbestos.
● Lung health questionnaire review
● Lung examination
● Lung function test (spirometry)
● Health advice to the worker
● Medical surveillance form confirming that the medical has taken place (3 copies as per regulatory requirement)
● Communication with the worker’s GP if any abnormality is noted and further action required.
The HSE requires asbestos workers to have a medical every 2 years if they carry out licenced work and every 3 years if they carry out non-licenced work.
