Health monitoring is the monitoring of a person’s health for the purpose of identifying changes in the person’s health status resulting from exposure to a hazardous chemical.
Health monitoring enables the registered medical practitioner (RMP) to identify any potential adverse effect on health from exposure to a hazardous chemical in the workplace. Early identification enables early intervention (e.g. hygiene and safe work practices, removal from further exposure, remedial action by the workplace) to prevent serious harm to the worker.
