Q: How quickly can Sigma Health mobilise for an on-site visit?

Sigma Health can mobilise for on-site visits rapidly across the UK, often within the same week. We operate Monday to Saturday with same-week appointments available at our nationwide clinics or via our mobile on-site assessment units.

Q: Is face fit testing a legal requirement for UK employers?

Yes, face fit testing is a legal requirement for UK employers under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) and the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations. Any employee required to wear a tight-fitting respirator or face mask must be face fit tested before use.

Q: What is a safety critical medical and who needs one?

A safety critical medical is a health assessment that determines whether a worker is physically and mentally fit to perform a role where their health and fitness could directly affect the safety of themselves, colleagues, or the public. They are required for roles including construction workers, crane operators, confined space workers, workers at height, and those operating heavy machinery.

Q: How much does occupational health cost for a UK employer?

Sigma Health offers transparent, fixed pricing with no hidden costs for all occupational health services. Costs vary depending on the type and volume of assessments required. Contact Sigma Health directly for a no-obligation quote tailored to your business needs.

Q: What types of health surveillance does Sigma Health provide?

Sigma Health provides a comprehensive range of health surveillance programmes including audiometry (hearing tests), lung function testing (spirometry), HAVS (Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome) assessments, skin surveillance, biological monitoring, and COSHH-related health surveillance. All programmes are designed to meet UK regulatory requirements.

Q: What is a HAVS assessment?

A HAVS (Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome) assessment is a health surveillance programme required under the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 for workers regularly exposed to hand-arm vibration from tools and machinery. The assessment identifies early signs of HAVS, which can include tingling, numbness, and loss of grip strength in the hands and fingers.

Q: How long must health surveillance records be kept?

Under UK health and safety legislation, health surveillance records must generally be kept for a minimum of 40 years from the date of the last entry, particularly where exposure to substances or conditions could have long-term health effects. Sigma Health provides secure digital storage and management of all health surveillance records.

Q: Can Sigma Health run our health surveillance programme long term?

Yes, Sigma Health can manage your entire health surveillance programme on a long-term basis. We provide ongoing monitoring, scheduling, record management, and reporting to ensure your business remains fully compliant with UK health and safety legislation. We support businesses of all sizes across all sectors.

Sigma Health is proud to work alongside some of the UK’s most respected construction and contracting businesses. From major Tier 1 contractors to specialist subcontractors, our clients trust us to deliver comprehensive occupational health services — from face fit testing and HAVS assessments to respiratory surveillance and workplace medicals — keeping their workforce healthy, protected, and fully HSE compliant.

Keep Your Workforce Working and Your Business Compliant

Every day a worker is absent, unfit, or unsupported by a competent occupational health provider costs your business more than you think — in productivity, in liability exposure, and in the hidden administrative burden of managing health-related absences without clinical guidance. Sigma Health delivers employer-focused occupational health services across the whole of the UK, built specifically around the needs of businesses that cannot afford delays, gaps in cover, or occupational health providers who take weeks to turn around a report. Whether you need safety critical medicals before a worker steps on site, a management referral completed before an absence spirals, or a fit to work assessment that gives you a clear, legally defensible decision — we deliver it fast, we deliver it compliantly, and we deliver it in plain language your managers can act on immediately.
