Annual Health Monitoring
The Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 necessitates that employers monitor the health of their workers who are exposed to health hazards. In basic terms it means that WorkSafe (formally known as Department of Labour or OSH) require companies who expose their workers to noise or respiratory contaminants (dusts, fibres, fumes, gases) must arrange for those workers to have annual hearing and lung function assessments. Noise and inhalation risks are not the only health hazards either. Conditions such as working with heavy metals, vibration, toxic chemicals and repetitive tasks along with many others are also considered health hazards for which other health surveillance may be required.
