<p>The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has not specifically assessed the construction
industry’s overall level of compliance with health surveillance regulations. HSE focuses
its occupational health strategies and interventions at the most significant causes
of ill-health to make sure duty holders are adequately managing and controlling health
risks at source. Health surveillance is one part of a health risk management system,
and HSE’s assessment of duty holders’ health surveillance arrangements will reflect
the risks involved, for example, HSE evaluates an applicant’s arrangements for statutory
medical examinations as part of asbestos license applications. HSE also works with
the wider construction industry to improve the industry’s occupational health performance
across Great Britain.</p>
