Jonathan,
The Control of Lead at Work regulations are on the HSE website and give
clear guidance on monitoring and acceptable lead concentrations. The
Employment Medical Advisory Service should be notified of raised levels,
either by the patient, the employer or referring doctors. If one
employee in a workplace is exposed, then all others working in the sane
environment should also be tested.

Subject: Occupational exposure to lead
I've been asked by a GP whether a roofer who works with lead needs
biochemical monitoring.
Does anyone have guidelines or anything else they could let me see?
What does HSE say?
Thanks
Jonathan
