FAQ

The frequency of lead medical assessments depends on the employee's exposure level. Individuals working in high-risk environments, such as lead smelting or battery manufacturing, may require more frequent checks. Generally, annual medicals are recommended for those exposed to lead. However, it's essential to consult with your occupational health provider to determine the most appropriate frequency for your specific circumstances.

Yes, there are legal obligations for lead medical assessments in the UK. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 require employers to assess the risk of exposure to hazardous substances, including lead, and implement appropriate control measures. This often includes regular medical surveillance for employees exposed to lead. The specific requirements may vary depending on the nature of the work and the level of exposure.

If an employee's lead levels are elevated, immediate action is necessary to protect their health. Employers are required to remove the employee from exposure and implement appropriate control measures. A comprehensive medical evaluation should be conducted to assess the extent of the health effects and determine the necessary treatment. In severe cases, temporary or permanent removal from the job may be necessary. It's crucial to consult with occupational health professionals and follow the guidance provided by relevant health and safety authorities.
