Health Surveillance

Introduction

Health Surveillance is a recognised part of Health & Safety legislation. For the High Speed Craft (HSC) community it is a requirement of the EU Physical Agents Directive which controls exposure to Whole Body Vibration (WBV) and Repeated Shocks (RS).  An appropriate Health Surveillance system will assist in:

• Reducing the risk of injury.
  
• Demonstrating the employers/operators duty-of-care.

STResearch Ltd (STR) has developed a Health Surveillance system, known as H-SURV™, specifically designed for HSC operations and addresses the requirements of the EU Whole Body Vibration legislation.  The H-SURV™ System includes the following components:

• Support to the employers administrative requirements of the legislation.
• Boat motion monitoring.
• Crew health status monitoring.
• Support to medical assessments.
• Fitness standards & training.

Please contact STR at the address shown below for further information and to discuss how H-SURV™ can be tailored to support your HSC operations.
