Health Surveillance

Health surveillance services in Belfast from Dangle Academy, supporting employers and workers where workplace activities may present health risks that need to be monitored.

Appointments are carried out professionally and confidentially at Dangle Academy’s Belfast centre through the appropriate occupational health process. Health surveillance can support businesses with workers exposed to risks such as noise, vibration, respiratory hazards, skin exposure, chemical exposure or other occupational health concerns.

What Is Health Surveillance?

Health surveillance is an occupational health process used where workplace activities may expose workers to health risks over time.

It can help identify early signs of work-related ill health, support safer working practices and help employers manage ongoing occupational health requirements. The type of surveillance required will depend on the work activity, exposure risk and workplace assessment.

Health surveillance is not a training course. It is an occupational health appointment or programme used where required by workplace risk assessment, employer requirements or occupational health advice.
