Health & Safety
Where exposure triggers surveillance, the record has to show what was found and what happened next. Gaffer tracks each worker's surveillance by hazard and type, with the outcome, any work restrictions, and whether they were referred to an occupational health professional — and when.
No credit card required · One platform · Web & Android (iOS coming soon)
A record per worker and surveillance type, with the outcome and the next due date both explicit.
Each record names the hazard exposure that triggered it — vibration, noise, dust, solvents — so surveillance is traceable to the risk rather than done generically.
The examination outcome and any work restrictions are recorded, so a fitness decision actually reaches the people scheduling the work.
Whether the worker was referred to an occupational health professional, when, and to which clinician and organisation — so referrals do not stall unnoticed.
Health surveillance sits with your exposure records, qualifications and team data in the same platform.
Where there is an identifiable disease or health effect linked to exposure, a valid way to detect it, and a reasonable likelihood it could occur. In the trades that most often means hand-arm vibration, noise above the upper action value, respiratory sensitisers, silica dust and some skin exposures.
Health surveillance records hold the outcome and any restrictions relevant to the work — fit, fit with restrictions, referred. Clinical detail belongs with the occupational health provider, and the employer record is deliberately the fitness and restriction outcome rather than the diagnosis.
Every record carries a next-due date, and Gaffer's expiry alerts surface upcoming and overdue surveillance alongside certificate and qualification expiries, so it is one list rather than several.
Vibration exposure records and noise assessments identify who is over an action value. Those are the people who need surveillance, and both live in Gaffer so the link is visible rather than reconstructed annually.
