Biological monitoring involves the analysis of urine, blood or breath samples collected from exposed employees to measure for the uptake of chemicals or their metabolites (substances the body converts the chemical into). Biological monitoring measurements tell us the total uptake of a chemical by an employee by all routes of exposure: inhalation, ingestion, absorption or a combination of all). The measurements tell us whether the total control measures are sufficient (or not). Whilst they may indicate the potential risk of work-related ill health, biological monitoring measurements do not give any indication of adverse health effects on an individual. The monitoring is usually undertaken alongside other health risk management support as they are only part of the total picture. Common exposures requiring biological monitoring include: metals from welding – chromium, nickel, cobalt, isocyanates solvents We offer: Review of COSHH and Safety Data Sheets and work activities Provision of biological monitoring tests and consenting process with blood tests taken by our clinical team Report detailing the risks, results, and implications Continuous specialist support with your health risk management journey Free telephone advice
