Hand Arm Vibration Assessment
In industries where there is exposure to vibration at a level where employees are at risk of developing hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) then Crossland Occupational Health Ltd can come into your organisation and implement the required screening. The aim of the screening is to safeguard the health of the employees by identifying symptoms and preventing advancement of the disease.
Crossland Occupational Health Ltd follow the HSE and The Control of Vibration at Work Regulations (2005) and perform screening using questionnaires and physical examinations by practitioners approved by the Faculty of Occupational Medicine.
Respiratory Health assessments
A planned programme of assessment is required for workers who are exposed to respiratory sensitisers. Occupational asthma is an important occupational health problem with serious implications for both affected individuals and their employers. Continued exposure can lead to the condition worsening and becoming fatal. The sooner a problem is identified, the more likely the employee can continue to work. For the employer control of occupational asthma and identification of problems will help to reduce sickness absence, lost production time and compensation payments.
