Health surveillance that catches it early.

Silica, lead, noise and respiratory health monitoring delivered to legislative standards — HSES runs health surveillance programs that keep your workforce protected and your obligations met, Australia-wide.

/ Overview

If exposure is credible, surveillance is not optional.

WHS legislation requires health monitoring for workers exposed to specific hazardous chemicals and conditions — and a defensible program needs more than an annual hearing test. HSES uses a bespoke confidential software to deliver a company health risk profile of your workforce, through onsite health assessment and screening.

Surveillance services

  • Exposure-based program design — identifying which workers require monitoring, for what, and how often, based on your actual exposure profile.
  • Statutory health monitoring for crystalline silica, lead, asbestos work, isocyanates and other scheduled hazardous chemicals.
  • Audiometry — baseline and periodic hearing tests aligned with noise regulation requirements.
  • Spirometry and respiratory health monitoring, including respirator fit-test coordination.
  • Baseline, periodic and exit monitoring with secure records management and trend tracking.
  • Results management — medical review pathways, worker notification and regulator reporting where required.
  • Program audits of existing surveillance arrangements against current legislative requirements.

Onsite delivery, minimal downtime

Pulling crews off site for clinic appointments burns hours and wages. Our registered nurses deliver surveillance on your site — sequenced around shifts, pre-starts and rosters so testing days cost minutes per worker, not half-days. For remote and FIFO operations we schedule around swing changes.

From results to risk reduction

Surveillance that files results and moves on has missed the point. Every program we run includes trend analysis back to your safety team: emerging hearing shifts in a workshop, respiratory changes in a processing crew, blood lead creep in a maintenance team. Surveillance data is exposure data — we make sure it feeds your hygiene and control programs, not just personnel files.

Where results indicate a problem, we support the follow-through: medical referral, exposure investigation, control review and, where required, regulator notification done correctly the first time.

/ Frequently Asked

Common questions.

WHS regulations require health monitoring where workers are exposed to specified hazardous chemicals — including crystalline silica, lead and asbestos — and where there is significant risk to health from other listed exposures. Risk assessments can also trigger monitoring obligations. We assess your exposure profile and tell you exactly what is and isn't required.

The PCBU (employer) must provide required health monitoring at its own expense, including the worker's time. Costs are modest compared with a single occupational disease claim.

Yes. Crystalline silica surveillance requirements have tightened significantly across Australia, and we deliver compliant programs including respiratory questionnaires, spirometry and coordination of chest imaging and medical review where indicated.

Results are reviewed through a medical pathway, the worker is informed confidentially, and we support the required follow-up: referral, exposure investigation, control review and regulator notification where the legislation requires it.

Yes. We audit existing programs, migrate historical records, close any compliance gaps and continue delivery — usually with less site disruption than the incumbent arrangement.
