Article 5 of the Convention. Medical examinations during the period of employment and thereafter. The Committee notes that schedule 4 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Carcinogens) Regulations 2001 sets out the practical recommendations for the health surveillance of employees, including keeping records of an employee’s medical and occupational history, and where appropriate, biological monitoring, as well as detection of early and reversible effects. Further tests may be decided upon for each employee who is the subject of health surveillance, in the light of the most recent knowledge available to occupational medicine. The Committee asks the Government to indicate the measures taken, in law and in practice, to ensure that workers are provided with such medical examinations or biological or other tests or investigations, as are necessary to evaluate their state of health in relation to occupational hazards not only during the period of employment but also thereafter.
