answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2019 answer text <p>As part of performing a competent occupational health assessment, the occupational history should be taken from the worker. Any relevant aspects of the occupational history should then be considered when formulating an opinion from an occupational health perspective in respect of that worker. As an example, the information considered when performing health surveillance of workers exposed to respirable crystalline silica can be found here: <a href="http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/healthsurveillance.htm" target="_blank">www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/healthsurveillance.htm</a>.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 12/07/2019 13:40:06 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
