How we can help
- Tier 1 and Tier 2 screening pathways
- Tier 3 clinical assessment
- Symptom and exposure history review
- Appropriate fitness / exposure advice
- Escalation where further medical review is indicated
- Recall planning within the agreed programme
Tiered assessment pathway
HAVS surveillance commonly uses a tiered approach. Screening information is reviewed to identify whether further assessment is required, with clinical escalation where symptoms or findings indicate a need for more detailed review.
Clinical assessment and classification
Where a Tier 3 assessment is indicated, the consultation explores relevant symptoms, exposure history, functional impact and clinical findings. The occupational health outcome focuses on fitness, exposure considerations and appropriate next steps.
Supporting exposure management
Health surveillance does not replace vibration risk assessment or engineering controls. Employers remain responsible for controlling exposure and acting on relevant occupational health advice.
