Automotive & Bodyshop Health Screening

Everwell Occupational Health has a number of Automotive & Bodyshop clients throughout the UK and we have a lot of experience in delivering health surveillance that is both flexible and convenient. Naturally all the elements of the health screening are designed to be compliant with HSE guidelines and the statutory requirements for health surveillance.

For most automotive centres & bodyshops the health surveillance requirements are very similar and but we recognise not everyone is the same so we would be very happy to discuss how we can adapt our standard Automotive & Bodyshop Health Surveillance & Medical service to suit your exact requirements.

Generally the main components of the health surveillance consist of:

1. Hearing tests – for those exposed to noise.
2. Spirometry / Lung-function – for those exposed to dust/fumes/vapours - i.e. respiratory sensitisers
3. Skin checks – for those exposed to oils / greases / adhesives - i.e. skin sensitisers
4. HAVS – Hand Arm Vibration – for those working with vibrating power tools
5. Forklift Truck Driver Medicals – for those employees operating forklifts
6. Isocyanate urinalysis - for those spraying isocyanate based paints.

Typically for  

• Mechanics we would look to complete hearing tests (especially where air-tools are used) & skin checks; possibly also a lung-function depending upon the exposure to engine fumes or similar.
• Bodyshop Operatives we look to complete hearing tests, lung-function tests, skin checks & HAVS screening.
• Valeters we look at skin checks & HAVS (if they use powered polishers)
• Casual Drivers we recommend regular driver medicals especially for those aged 60+

Forklift driver medicals & isocyanate urinalysis would clearly apply to fewer & specific employees. 

The combination of health screening / medicals will be depend upon the exact exposures for each employee, so please contact us today to discuss your health surveillance requirements
