Health Surveillance Medicals that catch problems before they become permanent
For safety managers and HR leads running workforces with ongoing exposure to noise, dust, vibration, or chemicals - a legally required monitoring programme that proves your controls are working.


What's included in this service
Health Surveillance Medicals delivered as a structured, ongoing programme of scheduled assessments - not a one-off check. Audiometry, spirometry, Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) screening, skin surveillance, and vision testing are built from your Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) assessments and workplace hazards.

Hazard-led surveillance programme
We map the hazards in your workplace to determine which tests each employee group requires - audiometry for noise above 85dB, spirometry for dusts and fumes, HAVS for vibrating tools, skin surveillance for chemical and wet work exposures, vision for safety-critical roles. Each test matched to a specific exposure.
One clear, prioritised surveillance report
A site-level results report summarising pass, fail, and deferred outcomes with trends flagged across your workforce. Individual employee records are documented for each person and stored for compliance and year-on-year comparison, with Fitness to Work certificates issued to those who pass.
Know what's next - tiered escalation
Employees who fail or are deferred receive clear next steps - earlier retest, a Fitness to Work letter, or referral to an Occupational Health Adviser or Occupational Health Physician. The programme runs as a continuous cycle with annual testing and a 3-month catch-up session for anyone missed.

Sector-specific compliance
Builders Merchants
Yard operations, loading safety, and customer-facing risk management. We understand the unique challenges of trade retail environments.

Warehousing & Logistics
MHE-intensive operations, racking safety, and loading bay risks. You need someone who can induct peak-season temps fast and ensure your night shift isn't a compliance blind spot.

Manufacturing & Engineering
24/7 production, machinery guarding, hot work, and COSHH exposure. You need someone who understands the tension between output targets and keeping people safe - and how to manage both.

Garden Centres
Seasonal displays changing weekly. Family footfall alongside forklift operations. Food hygiene in the café. Whether you're one site or ten - your risks are real and your compliance matters. You need someone who sees the full picture, not just the obvious risks.

Metal Stockholders
Heavy lifting, cutting operations, and materials handling across indoor and outdoor yards. Crane safety, manual handling risks, and COSHH exposure from oils and coatings. Your consultant knows this environment - not just the regulations that apply to it.

Childcare & Nurseries
Safeguarding requirements, fire safety in buildings designed for small children, food hygiene, outdoor play areas, and regulatory inspections from Ofsted as well as HSE. Your risk profile is unique - your consultant should be too.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Competent Person actually do?
A Competent Person takes legal responsibility for your H&S compliance. That covers risk assessments, audits, policy, training coordination and regulatory compliance. You get accountability for getting it done, not advice you have to action yourself.
Can you work alongside our existing H&S team?
Yes. Many clients use us to extend their internal capability - specialist assessments, regulatory liaison, and Competent Person cover during absences. We support your team, not replace them.
How quickly can you start?
One-off projects can typically be scheduled within days. Partnership clients have a named consultant operational within two to three weeks. Urgent situation - an HSE inspection notice, for example - we mobilise faster.
What makes your sector specialists different from generic consultants?
A generic consultant applies standard regulations. Our specialists know the specific hazards common in your industry and the enforcement priorities that apply to it. For builders merchants, that means forklift operations around public access. For childcare, it means Ofsted compliance alongside workplace safety. For warehousing, it means racking inspections and shift-pattern risk.
What's the difference between the Partnership, one-off projects, and Compliance Cloud?
The Partnership gives you a named Competent Person who manages compliance end-to-end. One-off projects deliver specific services without ongoing commitment. Compliance Cloud is the software platform for real-time compliance management. Many clients combine them.
