Article Abstract:

Surveillance monitoring has always been an integral part of an industry's health-and-safety program. Surveillance programs include exposure monitoring of potential health hazards in a worker's environment. A number of companies have taken action to ensure worker's health and safety. Depending on the outcome of health reports and exams, workers may be given safety devices or modified working conditions. Workers, however, are responsible to follow-up any possible health problem identified on yearly medical exams.
