HSE Asbestos Medicals in Birmingham & West Midlands | Neptune Health

Our asbestos medicals are carried out by HSE-appointed occupational health professionals, ensuring full compliance and expert care for your workforce.

What Is an HSE Asbestos Medical?

An HSE Asbestos Medical (also called Asbestos Medical Surveillance) is a mandatory health assessment for employees exposed to asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). It ensures that workers remain medically fit for work and helps detect early signs of asbestos-related diseases such as:

  • Asbestosis

  • Lung cancer

  • Mesothelioma

  • Pleural thickening

Who Needs an Asbestos Medical?

  • Workers doing licensable asbestos work — i.e., high-risk asbestos removal/demolition. 

  • Workers doing notifiable non-licensable asbestos work (NNLW) — still significant exposure though lower risk. 

  • Maintenance, refurbishment, demolition operations in the West Midlands region where asbestos exposure could occur.

How Often Do You Need an Asbestos Medical?

  • Licensable asbestos work: medical every 2 years

  • NNLW asbestos work: medical every 3 years

  • Additional reviews may be required if symptoms or changes in health occur between assessments

What’s Included in an HSE Asbestos Medical?

Typically:

  • Health questionnaire and work history focusing on respiratory risks. 

  • Clinical examination (respiratory, cardiovascular emphasised).

  • Lung function testing (spirometry) / chest X-ray as appropriate. 

  • A certificate of medical surveillance for the employer and worker.

Do I need a Fit to Work certificate as well?

If you are working in an asbestos-related or construction environment, your employer may also require a Fit to Work (or Fitness for Work) Certificate in addition to your HSE asbestos medical.
This certificate confirms that you are medically fit for your specific job role — for example, working at height, confined spaces, or operating heavy machinery.
