Every year, thousands of employees become ill because of the work they do. Some suffer from diseases or conditions that mean years of suffering. However, occupational ill health is preventable by taking effective steps to control the risks at work. One of these steps is to implement a health surveillance programme for your employees.
Health surveillance is about putting in place systematic, regular and appropriate procedures to detect early signs of work-related ill health among employees exposed to certain health risks; and acting on the results. (HSE 1999)
