Industry and Manufacturing
In manufacturing, occupational health plays a central role because workers may be exposed to physical, chemical and organisational risks typical of production environments. Legislative Decree 81/2008 establishes precise duties for protecting workers.
In production lines and technical processes, the risk assessment must consider noise and vibration, chemical substances, manual handling, plant maintenance and repetitive work.
Health surveillance under Article 41 must reflect real operating conditions and focus on preventing occupational conditions related to noise, physical effort and hazardous substances.
Occupational assessments to consider
The health and risk record is an essential tool for following employee health over time.
Failure to meet these duties can lead not only to administrative and criminal penalties, but also to downtime, accidents, machine stoppages and inefficiency.
Occupational health
Health assessments to evaluate
The competent physician defines examinations around the specific risks of each role. They may include:
- Spirometry: Respiratory function
- Audiometry: Hearing assessment for noise exposure
- ECG: Cardiac fitness and physical effort
- Blood tests: Health status and exposure monitoring
- Urine tests: Toxicological and biological checks
- Drug and alcohol tests: Fitness for safety-critical roles
- Vision tests: Precision work and machinery use
- Musculoskeletal assessment: Manual handling and repetitive work
- Specific tests: Chemical, biological or other exposure assessed by the physician
All examinations belong in a personalised health protocol aligned with Legislative Decree 81/2008 and the actual role and workplace.
