πŸ‘₯ What Is an Occupational Health Referral?

An occupational health referral supports employees who may be experiencing health issues that affect their ability to work safely and effectively, in any workplace setting and any any industry.

By referring staff to specialist occupational health professionals, employers can:
βœ… Access expert advice
βœ… Provide early support
βœ… Reduce sickness absence
βœ… Improve productivity
βœ… Meet their legal responsibilities

Employees benefit from professional guidance, improved wellbeing, and reassurance that their health is being managed appropriately.

🫁 Respiratory Health Surveillance – Is Your Workforce Protected?

Employees exposed to dusts, fumes, vapours or gases can develop serious respiratory conditions β€” often long before symptoms appear.

That’s why respiratory health surveillance plays a vital role in protecting both workers and employers.

πŸ” Helps identify early signs of:
β€’ Asthma
β€’ Chronic bronchitis
β€’ Silicosis
β€’ COPD and more

πŸ› οΈ Common workplace risks include:
β€’ Silica & wood dust
β€’ Welding fumes
β€’ Isocyanates (spray paints, foams)
β€’ Grain or flour dust
β€’ Animal proteins

πŸ“‹ Under COSHH regulations, surveillance should start before or shortly after exposure begins and continue regularly β€” annually, or every 6 months for higher-risk roles.

βœ… Early detection supports healthier employees, fewer absences and stronger legal compliance.

πŸ“ž Speak to Health Matters Occupational Health about your respiratory surveillance requirements. Visit https://hmohs.com/ or email us: manager@hmohs.com
