Asbestos Medicals for Workplace Compliance

Asbestos exposure is a serious health risk. It can lead to mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis — diseases that often develop decades after initial exposure. Under HSE regulations, asbestos medicals are a statutory requirement for workers in licensed and non‑licensed asbestos roles.

Why Asbestos Medicals Matter

Asbestos‑related diseases have a 20–60 year latency period, meaning symptoms may not appear until it’s too late. Regular medical surveillance helps detect early lung changes and ensures compliance with UK law.

Frequency of Asbestos Medicals

• Every 2 years for licensed asbestos work
• Every 3 years for non‑licensed asbestos work

If there’s any suspicion of asbestos‑related disease, a chest X‑ray and referral to a specialist may be required.
