Can anyone give me any guidance on where I can find a definitive list of what medical surveillance is required (and recommended frequency) under all of the legislation that exists.
So far I have a list of:-
Night shift workers;
Fork lift truck operators;
Dust mask users;
Compressed air repairers/users;
Workers working in a mandatory noise protection zone.
All of these are on an annual basis, but what other requirements are out there?

Peter,
Just to give you something to be going on with, look at regulation 11 of The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1999. Then at schedule 6 of these regulations.
Should be enough to keep you busy for the time being.
Keith.

then add exposures to asbestos (CAWR), lead (CLAW)and ionising radiations (IRR). If you're including Noise (which strictly speaking requires Health, rather than the stricter Medical Surveillance) then you probably want to include exposure to HAVs too (MHSW)
I highly recommend Professor Raymond Agius' Health, Environment & Work site

There is a fair amount of guidance within HSE literature under the Medical Guidance series.
If you are unsure, it could be worth contacting an Occupational Health Physician at your nearest hospital which offers an OH service. If not, try the Society of Occupational Medicine in London - they have a web site which could give useful contact.
EMAS - try your nearest HSE office, would also be able to assist you. They would certainly be able to advise which checks are mandatory and which are considered "good practice"
