Asbestos Medical Surveillance (HSE Appointed Doctor)
If your employees carry out licensed asbestos work — and in some cases certain non-licensed work — employers must ensure staff are under adequate medical surveillance by a relevant doctor. YEHS provides compliant assessments and certification.

Dr. Ade Buluro is an HSE Appointed Doctor providing statutory medical surveillance for workers exposed to asbestos and lead. YEHS delivers compliant assessments, clear certification, and employer-ready documentation.

Having a top Chief Medical Officer guiding your company’s health and safety efforts fosters a culture of well-being, enhances employee satisfaction, and contributes to the organisation’s overall success. Our CEO, Dr. Charles Easmon, leads the clinic with a passion for medical excellence and personalised patient care.

Dr Charlie or Dr. Ade can be appointed as your personal company medical officer to help reduce rates of absenteeism. They will be able to give advice on when a referral to occupational health is required and ways to monitor, prevent and manage sickness absence. In many cases this will assist the employee in a faster and safer return to work by recommending adjustments or modifying duties. YEHS offers face-to-face, telephone or video consultations when making an assessment.

 

What this service covers

  • Medical examination in line with appointed doctor guidance
  • Review of relevant occupational history and symptoms
  • Focused respiratory/chest assessment as required
  • Certification following examination (for employer and employee)
 

How often is surveillance required?

Surveillance intervals depend on the work category:

  • Licensable asbestos work: medical examination before/close to starting exposure and then at least every 2 years (or sooner if required).
  • Certain non-licensable asbestos work (not exempt): medical examination timing rules apply, with periodic exams at least every 3 years (or sooner if required).

If you tell us the work type, we’ll confirm the correct interval.
