Which health surveillance does your workforce actually owe?
Four questions about your people and their exposures. You will get an estimate of the statutory assessments owed each year, broken down by programme, and where your current arrangement leaves a gap an inspector would find. No sign-up, no personal data, and nothing leaves your browser.
No sign-up. Nothing is sent anywhere; this runs entirely in your browser.
What this check covers
Four questions about your workforce, its exposures and its shift patterns. From those, the check estimates how many statutory assessments your organisation owes each year, broken down by programme, and shows where your current arrangement is likely to leave a gap.
Its programme catalogue is taken from the same source the Polarisk platform runs on, so the guidance here and the product cannot drift apart. These are the six programmes it maps against:
- Audiometry and hearing surveillanceCONTROL OF NOISE AT WORK REGULATIONS 2005
- Hand-arm vibration (HAVS)CONTROL OF VIBRATION AT WORK REGULATIONS 2005
- Respiratory surveillanceCOSHH 2002
- Skin surveillance and dermatitisCOSHH 2002
- Night-worker health assessmentWORKING TIME REGULATIONS 1998
- Safety-critical medicalsGENERAL DUTIES AND SECTOR GUIDANCE
What it does not do
It is an estimate for planning, not an assessment of your legal position. Four questions cannot replace a competent exposure assessment: whether you are actually above the noise action values or the vibration exposure action value depends on measurement, not on recollection.
It also stops where the law requires an HSE Appointed Doctor. Asbestos, lead, ionising radiation and compressed air are outside both this check and the Polarisk platform, and if that is your main exposure you need a different provider rather than a smaller quote.
Nothing you enter is transmitted or stored. The check runs and scores entirely in your browser, and it never asks for anything about a named individual.
Common questions
How accurate is the estimate?
It is deliberately a planning figure. It applies each programme's usual cadence to the exposed population you describe, so it is useful for seeing the order of magnitude, which is often the thing employers have most badly wrong. A precise figure needs your role map and your exposure assessment, which is what the scoping call is for.
We already use an occupational health provider. Is this still useful?
Usually more useful, not less. Most employers with a provider are covered on one or two programmes and have no view at all on the others, particularly night-worker assessments, which are triggered by rostering rather than by anything a safety team measures. The check tends to surface the programmes nobody owns.
Do we have to give any personal or company data?
No. There is no sign-up, no email gate and no personal data. The questions are about the shape of your workforce, not about individuals, and your answers stay on your own device. If you want to discuss the result, booking a call is a separate and entirely optional step.
What happens if the number is much higher than we expected?
That is the common outcome, and it is worth knowing before an inspector tells you. A documented plan to close a known gap is a far stronger position than an undocumented one, so the useful next step is usually to establish the true scope, then work through it by programme and site rather than trying to do everything at once.
