Not sure what health surveillance Because OccuMed has a long history of working across a full range of industries and business sectors our Occupational Health professionals are very likely to have previous experience working in your environment and therefore have relevant sector knowledge. Therefore we will be able to start advise you what is likely to be required and to explore any particular specific factors or exposures. From this discussion OccuMed could swiftly start implementing an appropriate Occupational Health Surveillance and Medical programme.
OccuMed in short, can help you with advice on what is required, frequency of Occupational Health Surveillance and how to implement such a screening programme.
OccuMed has a number of Construction company clients throughout the UAE and we have a lot of experience in delivering health surveillance & medical screening that is both flexible and convenient. Naturally all the elements of the health screening are designed to be compliant with HSE guidelines and the statutory requirements for health surveillance.
For most construction companies, their health surveillance requirements are very similar and we understand what is required. We have a standard Construction Health Surveillance medical which we can easily adapt to fit any particular variations and would be happy to discuss how we can match your exact requirements.
There are also other less common health surveillance requirements which are linked to specific exposures to certain health risks (i.e. those exposed to lead or asbestos ...)Simply let us know of any non-standard exposures and we can advise appropriately. To cover all the health surveillance elements (1-6 above) you would require approximately 1 hour per person. You clearly require less time for each element not completed. The combination of health screening / medicals will be depend upon the exact exposures for each employee and to what you wish to offer your employees over and above the minimum statutory health surveillance requirements.

Hearing tests – for those exposed to noise.
Spirometry / Lung-function – for those exposed to dust/fumes/vapours - i.e. respiratory sensitisers

The combination of health screening / medicals will be depend upon the exact exposures for each employee, so please contact us today to discuss your health surveillance requirements
Manufacturing health surveillance OccuMed involved with manufacturing in some aspect of their operations that give rise to some type of health surveillance requirements. Each and every one of those clients has slightly different environments, exposures, processes, etc.... However the main risks that require health screening are often very similar and OccuMed is very experienced in offering tailored health surveillance / screening services that are both flexible and convenient.
Naturally, all the elements of the health screening are designed to be compliant with HSE guidelines and the statutory requirements for health surveillance
There are also other less common health surveillance requirements which are linked to specific exposures to certain health risks (i.e. those exposed to lead, asbestos, other biological agents, cold/hot environments, isocyanates, etc...). We are happy to discuss any of the less common exposures & health hazards, so please just contact us to explore any areas of concern.
To cover all the health surveillance elements (1-7 above) you would require approximately 1 hour per person. Clearly if you only require one or two elements from the list above the time required will be proportionately shorter.

For larger academies and colleges we would also recommend you consider having a regular scheduled service where by an Occupational Health Nurse Advisor visits on a set schedule (once a month, once a fortnight,.....) and tackles whatever issues are arising.
