Health Surveillance & Monitoring
Track health monitoring obligations for workers exposed to hazardous substances, manage surveillance schedules, record results, and demonstrate compliance with WHS Regulation 2025 health monitoring requirements.
Surveillance programme management
Define health monitoring programmes based on worker exposure profiles and regulatory requirements for specific substances and agents.
Health monitoring programmes are configured based on the hazardous substances and physical agents workers are exposed to. The system identifies which workers require monitoring based on their role, location, and the chemical register. Monitoring types include audiometry for noise-exposed workers, spirometry for dust and fume exposure, biological monitoring for lead and other substances, and skin assessments for sensitising agents.
Schedule and reminder management
Automated scheduling ensures health monitoring appointments are booked on time and workers receive reminders before their monitoring is due.
Each monitoring type has a defined frequency based on regulatory requirements and risk level. The system generates schedules, sends reminders to workers and supervisors, and flags overdue monitoring. Workers who are overdue for mandatory health monitoring are identified before they continue performing the exposure-generating task.
Exposure and result tracking
Link health monitoring results to worker exposure profiles and workplace exposure data for a complete picture of occupational health risk.
Health monitoring results are stored against each worker's record alongside their exposure history. When atmospheric monitoring results are recorded through the chemical register or WEL dashboard, these are linked to the relevant worker profiles. This creates a longitudinal view of exposure and health outcomes that supports early identification of occupational illness.
WEL transition readiness
As workplace exposure limits change in December 2026, health monitoring requirements will expand. The system identifies workers who will need new or modified monitoring programmes.
The December 2026 WEL transition will reduce exposure limits for hundreds of substances, many by 90% or more. Workers previously considered adequately protected may now be over-exposed, triggering new health monitoring obligations. The system cross-references the chemical register against the new WELs and identifies workers who will require health monitoring programmes that were not previously necessary.
What happens without structured health monitoring
A fabrication shop employs twelve welders exposed to manganese fume. The workplace exposure limit for manganese is dropping from 1 mg per cubic metre to 0.02 mg per cubic metre in December 2026 — a 98% reduction. Without a health monitoring system linked to the WEL dashboard, the business has no mechanism to identify that these workers now require enhanced respiratory health surveillance. By the time symptoms present, irreversible neurological damage may have occurred, and the PCBU faces prosecution for failure to provide health monitoring under WHS Regulation 2025.
How It Works
Identify
Determine which workers require health monitoring based on their exposure profile, the chemical register, and regulatory requirements.
Schedule
Automated scheduling with reminders ensures monitoring is completed on time. Overdue monitoring is flagged immediately.
Track
Results stored against worker records with exposure history linkage. Trends monitored for early identification of occupational health concerns.
Compliance Mapping
| Regulation | Section | Requirement | How This Module Meets It |
|---|---|---|---|
| WHS Regulation 2025 | s.368 | Health monitoring for workers exposed to hazardous chemicals | Structured surveillance programmes with scheduling, result tracking, and compliance reporting for all monitored substances. |
| WHS Regulation 2025 | s.372 | Duty to ensure health monitoring is carried out by a registered medical practitioner | Monitoring records include practitioner details, appointment tracking, and result documentation from qualified providers. |
| WHS Regulation 2025 | s.376 | Duty to provide health monitoring results to worker and regulator | Results accessible to workers through the platform with sharing controls for regulatory reporting requirements. |
