- Legal basis
- Medical surveillance under regulation 22 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Non-Licensed (NNLW) Medical
- Who it is for
- Workers undertaking notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW), a defined subset of non-licensed work that must be notified to the enforcing authority.
- Examination interval
- Routine examination at least every 3 years.
- Who can carry it out
