Health Assessment Surveillance;Objectives of this Section;Introduction ;Health and Safety;Health and Safety;Risks to health from work activities include: Skin contact with irritant substances, leading to dermatitis etc. Inhalation of respiratory sensitisers, triggering immune responses such as asthma. Badly designed workstations requiring awkward body postures or repetitive movements result in upper limb disorders, repetitive strain injury and other musculoskeletal conditions. ;Noise levels which are too high, causing deafness and conditions such as tinnitus. Too much vibration, e.g. from hand-held tools leading to hand arm vibration syndrome and circulatory problems. Exposure to ionising and non-ionising radiation including ultraviolet in the sun’s rays causing burns, sickness and skin cancer.;Occupational Health;Occupational Health;Health Risk Management;Hazard Identification;Weighbridge ;Risk Assessment;Risk Assessment (2);Potential Severity;Potential Exposure;Potential Exposure Where necessary some form of sampling and exposure measurements should be undertaken to determine the extent of the hazard at the time of the assessment. These can then be compared with any occupational exposure limits (such as TLV’s and OEL’s) that have been set for the industry, as well as any in-house standards. Such exposure measurements may also assist in determining any remedial action that is necessary. ;Controlling the Risk;Hierarchy of Risk Control Elimination of the risk. This can be achieved through redesigning the activity or equipment to eliminate the release of the hazard. Reduction of the risk at source through engineering controls. This can be achieved by enclosing the activity or equipment to capture and/or absorb the hazard, dilute the hazard or release it into a safer place. Minimising the risk through procedural controls. This involves implementing systems and procedures so that work is carried out in a particular way that limits exposure to the hazard. Use of appr
