Health Surveillance
Health Surveillance is a programme of ongoing checks that detects early signs of work-related ill health before they become serious, required by law wherever employees are exposed to specific workplace hazards such as noise, vibration, hazardous substances or skin sensitisers. Unlike a one-off medical, it’s a recurring legal duty for as long as the exposure continues, which is exactly where health surveillance goes wrong for most employers: recalls get missed, spreadsheets fall out of date, and compliance quietly lapses. Our HealthTrack system removes that risk by scheduling every recall automatically and keeping a live, always-current record of who’s due what and when, so nothing depends on someone remembering.
Compliance shouldn’t keep you up at night
Health surveillance is a legal requirement for many roles, but managing it internally is a headache. Who’s due? What tests do they need? Are we compliant? What if the HSE comes knocking?
Most providers deliver the tests but leave you to manage the programme. You’re still chasing, tracking, and worrying.
A surveillance programme that runs itself
NPH Group delivers health surveillance as a managed service. We don’t just do the tests, we own the entire programme. Scheduling. Recalls. Reporting. Compliance tracking.
You get a live dashboard showing exactly where you stand. We handle everything else.

How does Role Ready make Health Surveillance easier to manage across different roles?
Role Ready maps Health Surveillance requirements to each role based on workplace risks and exposures. This creates a clear, structured programme so HR and H&S teams know what’s required for each employee group, without relying on spreadsheets or tribal knowledge.
How does Clear Path improve Health Surveillance questionnaires and compliance?
Clear Path provides a streamlined digital questionnaire journey via a company-specific magic link. Employees find it easier to complete, forms are less likely to be incomplete, and the information clinicians receive is more usable—supporting faster decisions and stronger compliance evidence.
How does Health Track help keep Health Surveillance programmes on schedule?
Health Track supports automation of scheduling, recall, and workflow management so surveillance doesn’t drift over time. It reduces missed reviews, improves visibility of what’s due, and lowers the admin burden of running an ongoing programme.
What is Health Surveillance and why is it important?
Health Surveillance is a programme of checks used to detect early signs of work-related ill health where workplace risks exist. It helps protect employees, supports compliance, and provides evidence that you’re managing occupational risks appropriately.
When is Health Surveillance required in the workplace?
Health Surveillance is typically required when employees are exposed to hazards and surveillance is recommended under UK health and safety guidance (for example noise, vibration, respiratory hazards, skin sensitisers, or other exposures). NPH Group can help you identify what’s needed based on your roles and risk profile.
What types of Health Surveillance do you provide?
Depending on your risks, Health Surveillance may include questionnaires, clinical assessments, audiometry (hearing tests), spirometry (lung function), hand-arm vibration assessments, and skin checks. We tailor the programme to your hazards and workforce.
How often do employees need Health Surveillance checks?
Frequency depends on the hazard, exposure level, and guidance for that risk. NPH Group helps you set an appropriate schedule and then manages recalls so the programme stays on track without HR having to run it manually.
Can Health Surveillance be delivered onsite or remotely?
Some elements can be completed remotely (such as questionnaires and certain reviews), while others require onsite or clinic-based testing (such as audiometry and spirometry). We’ll recommend the most efficient delivery model for your workforce and locations.
What do we receive after Health Surveillance is completed?
You receive clear outcomes and next steps, including whether an employee is fit for exposure, whether adjustments are recommended, and whether further review is needed. We also help you maintain an auditable record of compliance and programme delivery.
