    Start with the work, not a generic booking

    We distinguish licensed work from notifiable non-licensed work before appointments are arranged.

  • 02

    Plan around headcount and due dates

    Share your numbers and timescale so the appointment plan reflects the operational reality.

  • 03

    Know what belongs in your records

  2. 02

    Confirm the workforce

    Provide headcount, location and due dates so appointments can be planned sensibly.

  3. 03

    Complete the medicals

    Workers complete the health history, respiratory examination and spirometry.

  4. 04

    Receive certificates

    Certificates are issued for your records, with the next surveillance date made clear.

Regulation, explained properly

Accurate guidance protects the worker and the employer.

An asbestos medical is statutory medical surveillance under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. It checks respiratory health and records that surveillance took place.

Read the medical requirements

Licensed and NNLW are not interchangeable

They have different doctor requirements and surveillance intervals.

The examination is focused

It covers respiratory history, clinical examination and spirometry; routine chest X-rays are not standard without a clinical reason.

The certificate has a defined purpose

It confirms surveillance took place. It is not a fitness-to-work certificate.

Employer questions

What dutyholders usually ask us.

Need an answer for your workforce? Send us the details

Who is responsible for arranging asbestos medicals?
Employers are responsible for arranging medical surveillance for employees carrying out licensed asbestos work or notifiable non-licensed work. Self-employed workers have the same duty for their own surveillance under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Can you arrange medicals for a group of workers?
Yes. Tell us how many workers need medicals, the type of asbestos work they carry out and when their certificates are due. We will confirm the appropriate medical and coordinate a practical appointment schedule.
What is the difference between licensed and non-licensed asbestos medicals?
Licensed work medicals must be carried out by an HSE-appointed doctor and repeated at intervals of no more than 2 years. Medicals for notifiable non-licensed work can be carried out by any GMC-registered doctor with a licence to practise and must be repeated at least every 3 years.
What happens during an asbestos medical?
The examination includes a medical and occupational history, a respiratory symptom questionnaire, a clinical examination focused on the respiratory system and lung function testing by spirometry.
What certificate does the employer receive?
After the examination, a certificate of medical examination is issued for the worker and employer records. It confirms that medical surveillance took place; it is not a certificate of fitness to work with asbestos.
Do self-employed asbestos workers need a medical?
Yes. The same medical surveillance requirements apply to self-employed people carrying out licensed or notifiable non-licensed asbestos work. Individuals can enquire through the same form.
