Health Surveillance Services in the North West
Sigma Health delivers end-to-end occupational health surveillance services across the North West of England, supporting employers in Manchester, Liverpool, Warrington, Blackpool, Salford, Oldham, Wigan, and Birkenhead. We provide industry-specific health monitoring programmes that meet the legal and operational needs of high-risk sectors common to the region—such as construction, logistics, food processing, engineering, utilities, manufacturing, and transport. Our services are fully compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) framework and the Health and Safety at Work Act, helping North West businesses maintain workforce safety while fulfilling their statutory obligations.
Occupational health surveillance in the North West involves a planned and systematic approach to monitoring employee health in relation to workplace exposures. It plays a critical role in detecting early signs of occupational illnesses and preventing long-term health damage caused by exposure to risks such as hazardous substances, excessive noise, mechanical vibration, dust, fumes, and repetitive physical activity. From warehouses in Trafford Park to fabrication plants in Widnes and distribution centres in Speke, we support employers in implementing effective, risk-based surveillance systems that are aligned with HSE guidance and relevant industry regulations.
Our SEQOHS-accredited health surveillance services include audiometry hearing tests to monitor for noise-induced hearing loss, spirometry to assess lung function in dusty or chemical-heavy environments, and dermatological screenings for workers at risk of occupational skin diseases. We also provide visual acuity tests for employees operating vehicles or machinery, and biological monitoring where chemical exposure thresholds must be measured. These checks are essential for tracking health trends, identifying issues early, and putting protective measures in place to reduce risk and liability.
For individuals in safety-critical roles, Sigma Health offers a comprehensive suite of medical assessments including safety critical medicals, working at height medicals, forklift operator medicals, confined space medicals, and crane operator assessments. We also conduct Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) assessments for employees using vibrating tools, as well as face fit testing to confirm proper use of respiratory protective equipment. These services are critical for proving fitness for duty and remaining compliant with UK safety law.
Beyond core surveillance, Sigma Health supports businesses with additional occupational health services such as drug and alcohol testing, mental health assessments, absence and return-to-work medicals, lone worker assessments, asbestos medicals, PTS rail medicals, demolition medicals, and OEUK offshore medicals. We deliver these services through mobile units or at clinics located throughout the North West to reduce operational disruption and maximise convenience for your business.

Industries and Roles That Require Health Surveillance
Health surveillance is a legal, preventative, and operational necessity across multiple high-risk industries in the UK, particularly where employees are routinely exposed to occupational hazards such as vibration, noise, airborne particulates, chemical fumes, and sensitising agents. Under HSE legislation, employers are required to monitor and protect workers against long-term health risks, especially in environments where exposure is frequent or unavoidable. Failing to conduct adequate health surveillance can lead to legal penalties, increased absenteeism, and undiagnosed occupational illness.
At Sigma Health, we deliver comprehensive workplace health surveillance tailored to a wide range of sectors, including construction, civil engineering, logistics, transportation, warehousing, automotive repair, utilities, demolition, light manufacturing, waste management, engineering, and foundry operations. Our structured programmes include key assessments such as audiometry testing for hearing damage due to noise exposure, spirometry for detecting respiratory issues caused by dust and fumes, HAVS testing for vibration-related disorders, skin surveillance for dermatitis and other reactions, and vision screening to ensure operatives meet role-specific visual requirements.
We serve employees in critical job roles such as machine operators, plasterers, joiners, bricklayers, fabricators, maintenance engineers, vehicle technicians, painters, metalworkers, forklift drivers, asbestos workers, confined space operatives, and groundworkers—all of whom face increased exposure to workplace risks that require regular monitoring. Each health assessment is carried out in alignment with relevant guidance including COSHH, the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations, Noise at Work Regulations, and Lung Function Surveillance for Safety-Critical Workers. If your business operates in construction, transport, manufacturing, logistics, or engineering, health surveillance is a legal requirement. Sigma Health helps keep your workforce fit, your operations compliant, and your risks controlled.
