Doctor-led respiratory health surveillance and spirometry for workers exposed to substances or workplace processes that may affect respiratory health.
Respiratory health surveillance may be required where workers are exposed to substances or processes capable of causing occupational respiratory disease.
Spirometry provides an objective assessment of lung function and can help identify changes over time when used alongside an appropriate occupational and respiratory history.
Marina Medicals can provide individual spirometry assessments and scheduled respiratory health-surveillance programmes for employers.
Spirometry for occupational assessment or health surveillance, with lung-function measurements recorded for occupational health surveillance where appropriate.
Occupational spirometry with medical interpretation where symptoms, abnormal findings or occupational-health input require clinical review.
Baseline and periodic respiratory surveillance can be arranged according to the employer’s COSHH risk assessment, workplace exposures and surveillance requirements.
Assessment of respiratory symptoms, relevant medical history and occupational exposure.
Measurement of lung function, including FEV1, FVC and other relevant spirometric parameters.
Medical review where symptoms, lung-function results or changes over time require further assessment or referral.
Respiratory health surveillance does not replace effective control of workplace exposure. It forms part of the employer’s wider COSHH and occupational risk-management arrangements.
Workers exposed to respiratory dusts where the workplace risk assessment identifies a need for surveillance.
Workers exposed to substances capable of causing occupational asthma or other sensitisation.
Employer-defined surveillance where fumes, vapours, chemicals or occupational processes may affect respiratory health.
Book an individual spirometry assessment or send Marina Medicals your employer surveillance requirements so we can confirm the appropriate assessment, recall arrangements and fee.
