I am looking for a reliable Health Surveillance provider for a client in Nottingham. They need to cover hearing and respiratory issues

Any suggestions

RPS health care based in Mansfield Woodhouse, Notts are pretty good and do the whole range of testing.

It does depend on the industry you are looking at and the risks...if you could let me know the industry then it might narrow down your search as there are lots of little guys out there who are still competent to provide the service..

Jim thus might help choosing a supplier...it is the standards we employ for testing...

If they are working in wood and using glue and MDF then you will need to do skin health surveillance as well. Take a look at what COSHH says@

Paragraph 237, in particular, indicates where skin health surveillance is required.
Examples where health surveillance is appropriate under the criteria in regulation 11(2)(b) are:
where there have been previous cases of work-related ill health in the workforce/place;
where there is reliance on PPE, eg gloves or respirators, as an exposure control measure; eg printers wearing gloves to protect against solvents used during press cleaning, or paint sprayers using two-pack paints wearing respirators to prevent asthma. Even with the closest supervision there is no guarantee that PPE will be effective at all times;
where there is evidence of ill health in jobs within the industry; eg frequent or prolonged contact with water (termed ‘wet-working’) causing dermatitis in hairdressers and healthcare workers, or breathing in mists from chrome plating baths causing chrome ulcers in platers.

If you need more on skin health surveillance PM me with your e-mail and I will send you information on this.

Thanks to everyone for the help.
