Occupational health in Newcastle and the North East
We cover Newcastle, Gateshead, North and South Tyneside, Sunderland and the wider North East.
The Tyne still carries a concentration of heavy engineering, fabrication and subsea work, and that shapes what North East employers need. Statutory medicals under the Control of Asbestos Regulations and the Ionising Radiations Regulations come up far more often here than elsewhere in our coverage, alongside the standard noise and vibration programmes.
Work is delivered on site at your premises, at a partner clinic in the city, or remotely. Where a statutory medical requires an HSE Appointed Doctor, that assessment is carried out by a physician holding the appointment.
North East employers we work with
- Offshore, subsea and marine engineering
- Heavy fabrication and shipyard trades
- Chemical and process industries
- Rail, transport and infrastructure
- Construction and demolition contractors
- Universities and research facilities
What North East sites usually ask for
Statutory medicals requiring an HSE Appointed Doctor need more lead time than routine surveillance, so tell us the deadline you are working to when you enquire.
- Asbestos medicals for licensed work and notifiable non-licensed work
- Radiation medicals for classified persons under IRR17
- Audiometry and HAVS surveillance for fabrication and maintenance crews
- Confined space, working at height and safety-critical medicals
- Spirometry where welding fume or respiratory sensitisers are present
