Ongoing Health Monitoring for At-Risk Workers

For employees exposed to harmful substances or high-risk environments, regular health assessments help detect changes in physical condition before serious illness develops.

Why It’s Required by Law

Under federal and provincial OH&S regulations, employers must implement surveillance for roles involving exposure to designated substances such as lead, silica, asbestos, and others.

Early Detection of Occupational Illness

Early identification of occupational illness improves outcomes, reduces absenteeism, and ensures timely treatment—protecting both the worker and the employer.
