PEAK4 is the UK’s only occupational health provider offering mobile chest X‑ray capability. This service is essential for workers exposed to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) - a dust that can cause silicosis, a serious and irreversible lung condition.
Under HSE guidance, employees exposed to silica dust should be included in a health surveillance programme. Employers are responsible for assessing the need for chest X‑rays to protect workers and remain compliant.
Why Chest X‑Ray Matters
Silicosis can develop from current or historical exposure and often goes unnoticed until severe. Early screening helps:
Detect lung changes before symptoms appear
Prevent long term health complications
Reduce legal and financial risk for employers
Who Needs Chest X‑Ray Screening?
Construction workers
Foundry staff
Brick and tile manufacturing
Ceramics and slate industries
Quarry and stonework operatives
