Occupational health is a distinct branch of medicine concerned with the effect of the work place on an employee's health and the effect of an employee's health on their ability to do the job.

HSE Appointed Doctors
Doctors at Handsworth Wood Medical Services Ltd are appointed by the
Health and Safety Executive to fulfil the medical requirements of current
Health & Safety legislation. The following medicals are STATUTORY
requirements and are all available at Handsworth Wood Medical Services
Ltd.
Asbestos
All personnel working with asbestos are required to have an annual medical, in some instances this will also require an X-ray. Where this is the case, Handsworth Wood Medical Services Ltd is ideally placed, having its own X-ray facility on site, thus reducing the time employees are away from the job. There is also a requirement that any potential employee has been assessed by a doctor for his fitness and suitability for the wearing of the necessary Personal Protective Equipment.
Lead
Workers exposed to lead are required to have their lead levels checked by means of a blood or urine test. The interval of these tests is dependent on the blood levels recorded, thus if the level rises the test will need to be carried out more frequently. These tests can be carried out at the surgery or if several employees are involved a company visit can be arranged.
Ionising Radiation
Workers employed in or to work with ionising radiation are required to
be approved before employment in these areas by an assessment from a doctor.
Thereafter they must have an annual medical to assess their continuing
suitability for working in such environments.
