I have been asked to provide answers to certain questions which have repeatedly been asked by employees and employers through this blog. How can companies make the most use of HSE systems in optimizing the health of workers?
Health surveillance is an occupational health tool for monitoring changes in a worker’s health overtime occurring directly as a result of workplace elements. What’s important is that health surveillance needs not be conducted in all organizations on the contrary it fails to achieve when duplicated across board. There are certain requirements to be met before adopting this tool. Health surveillance merges HSE systems with occupational health as companies are able to detect what part of their health and safety systems are failing which in turn produces an action plan to boast services. It therefore serves a brilliant audit tool for HSE systems in organizations. This tool is beneficial for the following reasons.
· Health surveillance is a very good way of demonstrating to workers the commitment of management towards the health of their workers.
· One key thing for companies to bear in mind is if you must check then you must act to put preventive measures in place.
