Blood Lead Medical for Workplace Safety

Lead exposure is a serious health risk. Prolonged contact with high concentrations can cause kidney, brain, and nerve damage, as well as symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and nausea. Under HSE health surveillance requirements, employers must monitor workers exposed to lead to prevent long‑term harm and ensure compliance.

Why Blood Lead Medicals Matter

Lead is commonly found in:

• Construction sites
• Specialist materials (e.g., roof flashings)
• Older buildings (paint, pipework)

Regular testing protects employees and demonstrates your commitment to safety.

What’s Included in a Blood Lead Medical

• Physical examination
• Blood test to measure lead levels
• Review of work history and exposure
• Discussion of symptoms and risk factors
• Comprehensive report with recommendations

All results are reviewed by an Occupational Health Practitioner to confirm fitness for work and determine follow‑up intervals.
