What happens after health monitoring is completed?

Once a worker has been screened, the PCBU will receive a health monitoring report with the findings of any test results. The PCBU must give the worker a copy of this report and keep the report for at least 30 years. If the report recommends any changes to a worker’s duties, the PCBU must implement them in consultation with the worker and medical practitioner.

The PCBU must also provide a copy of the report to SafeWork NSW if the medical practitioner advises a worker may have contracted an injury or illness as a result of exposure, or if they recommend any remedial action including stopping a worker from doing a particular task.
