Occupational Health Monitoring: Ensuring Workplace Safety with SafetyCheck

Occupational health monitoring is legally required for team members exposed to hazards in the workplace, such as loud noises or unclean air. Regular health monitoring is essential for creating a company culture where every team member feels supported and encouraged to look after themselves.

Why Choose SafetyCheck?

That’s where SafetyCheck by Healthbox comes in. These 20-minute appointments are the perfect way to ensure you meet your legal requirements for regular monitoring of hearing and lung function. They also address other key safety concerns.

Comprehensive Assessments

Each SafetyCheck assesses:

• Audiometry: This is a painless, non-invasive hearing test. It measures a person's ability to hear different frequencies at low volumes. Test results are compared to age norms to determine each team member's hearing health and decide if further follow-up is required.

  
  

• Blood Pressure: Raised blood pressure can be a contraindication for lung function testing. Therefore, it is important to assess this before any breathing tests are conducted. Additionally, blood pressure is a useful indicator of overall cardiovascular health.

  
  

• Lung Function: We work with your organization to determine if you need Peak Flow Testing or full Spirometry assessments. Both tests involve team members breathing through a tube to assess their lung function and identify any restrictions or obstructions in their breathing.

  
  

• Visual Acuity: Near (40cm) and far (3m) reading tests assess each team member's vision. This helps decide if they need further assessment with an optometrist for glasses or contacts. The far vision testing is also crucial to ensure each team member is safe to operate company vehicles.
