Asbestos medicals for your whole workforce.
If your employees carry out licensed or notifiable non-licensed (NNLW) asbestos work, CAR 2012 places the duty on you as the employer to arrange their medical surveillance. We'll help you schedule it as a group.
Medical surveillance is your responsibility, not your workers'.
Regulation 22 of CAR 2012 requires employers to maintain a health record for employees doing licensed asbestos work and to make sure they're under medical surveillance. NNLW carries a similar surveillance duty, plus a separate requirement for you to notify the work itself to the enforcing authority before it starts.
The medical. Not the notification.
We arrange and carry out the medical examinations for your workforce, licensed or non-licensed, and issue a certificate for each worker and for your own health records. Notifying NNLW work to the HSE (or other enforcing authority) is a separate step that remains your responsibility, using HSE's own online notification form.
What to send us.
The more of this you can tell us upfront, the faster we can confirm a schedule.
Number of workers
How many people need a medical, and whether they're all due at the same time.
Type of work
Licensed or notifiable non-licensed, since each requires a different doctor and renewal cycle.
Renewal dates
When each worker's last medical was, or their existing certificate expiry, so nobody lapses.
What you keep afterwards.
-
A certificate for each worker. Issued to the worker and to you as the employer, confirming the examination took place.
-
Your own retention duty. HSE guidance requires employers to keep each certificate for at least 4 years, and a health record covering exposure and exam dates for at least 40 years.
-
No clinical detail in your copy. The health record you keep should not contain confidential clinical information; that stays with the examining doctor.
