Supporting employers
Occupational health surveillance assists employers monitor the health of workers who are exposed to specific workplace hazards where ongoing monitoring is required under legislation, recognised standards or workplace risk assessments.
Where abnormal findings or health concerns are identified, appropriate referral pathways are initiated in collaboration with the worker's treating medical practitioner, the employer's nominated occupational physician or other relevant healthcare providers, with the worker's knowledge and consent where required.
