Preventive occupational health care for work involving asbestos
Work involving asbestos can expose employees to harmful asbestos fibres. Exposure can still occur today, particularly during demolition, refurbishment and maintenance work on older buildings and plant.
Where work involves exposure to asbestos, mandatory preventive occupational health care must be arranged. MonacoMed provides this service for companies in Munich and, by arrangement, directly at your workplace.
Preventive occupational health care may be relevant in particular for employees who may come into contact with asbestos-containing materials, for example during:
Which preventive occupational health care is required depends on the specific activity and the company's risk assessment.
The focus is on individual occupational health advice and on the health risks of possible asbestos exposure.
Depending on the reason for the preventive health care and the individual situation, a medical examination can also be offered. This takes into account the activity, any earlier exposure and individual health factors.
Asbestos-related illnesses can appear many years or even decades after occupational exposure. Post-exposure occupational health care therefore plays a particular role with asbestos.
Once the hazardous work has ended, preventive health care can be continued beyond the period of employment itself.
We support companies in determining the appropriate occupational health requirements and arranging the necessary preventive occupational health care. For several employees, appointments can be coordinated and grouped together by arrangement. We usually respond within 48 hours.
