Health Surveillance Record

The Health Surveillance Record is used to monitor and document changes in workers' health due to exposure to specific substances. Levels of risk depend on the frequency, duration and level of exposure, and keeping accurate health surveillance records is the key to managing these exposures.

It records the worker's name, payroll or ID number and job title, the occupational exposure and hazards, the screening, vaccination and frequency of surveillance required, the examiner's recommendation, and the actions and follow up completed.
