Abstract
Medical surveillance has become an intrinsic activity in any modern workplace. While, the nature and extent of medical surveillance in the workplace are variable with legal jurisdiction and type of industry, the broad dimensions of contemporary workplace medical surveillance are clearly established. Medical surveillance is subdivided into four basic categories—pre-employment screening, periodic operational monitoring, episodic monitoring, and termination examination. A medical surveillance program must be viewed as an essential lifeline for employees and should therefore be carefully monitored for effectiveness and efficiency. It is especially important that there should be at least an annual review of the entire program and during this annual programmatic review, contracted medical personnel be requested to present an in-plant oral review of findings to date and discuss their own recommendations regarding any potential changes in the surveillance program.
