Hi Allison
The next plans for CBH include part 3 of the Standards, which will be
more about Health Risk Management, (we didn't do that previously as it
would have coincided with the launch of the HSE's COHME toolkit.
We are also working closely with the Plant Association, and will be
looking at standards specifically for all mobile plant operators (as
there are so many different types), for example a worker could be fit to
operate a crawler crane but not a tower crane etc. Hopefully this will
help.
Kind regards
Wendy

Hi Wendy, I've printed off your matrix, thanks. I note there is no job
role specifically for FLT drivers. Although risk assessments should be
carried out to decide whether to measure against Group 1 or 2 (DVLA
medical standards), it would have been useful to have it highlighted on
the matrix. Clearly you have put a huge amount of work into compiling
this so thank you once again. Kind regards Allison Sent from my

Hello All
As some of you will know, this is exactly what the construction industry
have done.
It certainly didn't happen over night, involving a lot of expertise and
a 2 year pilot study, but the standards were produced including a matrix
showing job type down the side and health surveillance along the top,
with ticks indicating legal requirement, best practice etc.
If you wish to access it and the industry standards you can do so from
our website:
www.constructingbetterhealth.co.uk
If anyone wants further information please feel free to contact me.
Kind regards
Wendy

Hi Campbell,
It would be a useful tool, particularly for small to medium sized
businesses who do not have their own OH provider.
I too think that it could be either too general or too complicated.
I have been mulling the idea over for a few weeks and think that each
'occupational group' would be started off with a general description of
the work and the most common exposures encountered.
The next section would go on to describe health surveillance needs, with
advice on checking MSDS, Exposure standards etc.
I have queried this with SafeWork Australia, same as UK's HSE and they
have nothing like this. Additionally the Australian Institute of
Occupational Hygienists appear to have nothing.
I think I'll give it some more thought and see if I can develop the idea
further. It's going to take a lot of research and collaboration though.

I am sure it would be a fantastic tool if it did exist,
But can't help but feel it might be too generalist,
Or conversely far too complicated.

I know there is a lot of information out there, but has anyone come
across a website which lists health surveillance needs by occupation.
