Health surveillance software for UK employers
Link each worker to the health surveillance their exposure requires — noise, hand-arm vibration, COSHH — track appointments and recall dates, and hold the outcomes and evidence in one place. Complys keeps the records; the clinical assessment stays with occupational-health professionals.
Risk-based, and driven by exposure
Health surveillance is risk-based: it is required where a worker's exposure carries a known health effect, there is a valid way to detect it, and harm is reasonably likely. The common triggers are noise (Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005), hand-arm vibration (Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005) and substances hazardous to health under COSHH — for example respiratory sensitisers or skin irritants. Complys turns those exposures into a surveillance programme: who needs what, and by when.
Legal basis — COSHH Regulations 2002, Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 · HSE guidance on health surveillance · Clinical assessment is carried out by occupational-health professionals, not Complys
Exposure to requirement
Link each worker to the surveillance their exposure requires — drawn from noise, HAVS and COSHH assessments.
Appointments & recall
Track appointments and recall dates, with reminders so surveillance happens on schedule and nobody is overlooked.
Outcomes & status
Record the outcome or fitness status returned by the occupational-health provider, kept separate from confidential clinical detail.
Programme view
See the whole programme — who is due, who is overdue, and coverage by hazard — across the workforce.
Review on change
Reassess surveillance when exposures, roles or people change, tied back to the underlying risk assessment.
Evidence & audit trail
Hold the health records and evidence with a timestamped trail for an auditor or the HSE.
The connective layer over your exposure risks
Health surveillance ties together the exposures you already assess — noise, hand-arm vibration and COSHH — so the exposure and the surveillance are never managed in separate silos. Complys holds the records and the schedule; the health checks themselves are carried out by competent occupational-health professionals.
Health surveillance software — FAQs
When is health surveillance required?
It is risk-based. Where a risk assessment identifies that workers are exposed to a hazard with a known adverse health effect, a valid technique to detect it, and a reasonable likelihood of harm, health surveillance is required. Common triggers include noise (Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005), hand-arm vibration (Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005), and substances hazardous to health under COSHH — for example respiratory sensitisers or skin irritants. Complys links each worker to the surveillance their exposure requires.
Does Complys carry out the health surveillance or diagnose conditions?
No. Health surveillance and any clinical judgement are carried out by occupational-health professionals or other competent people. Complys is the records and scheduling side — it holds who needs what surveillance and when, the appointments and recall dates, the outcome or fitness status recorded, and the evidence — so nothing is missed and the programme can be evidenced.
What records does it keep?
A health record for each worker under surveillance (kept separate from confidential clinical records), the type of surveillance and why it is required, appointment and recall dates, the recorded outcome or status, and links to the underlying exposure assessment. Complys keeps these with reminders so recalls happen on time and the programme stays complete.
