Work at height
Vertigo, uncontrolled hypertension, epilepsy and cardiac risk all disqualify a worker from height work — and each must be documented before a permit is issued.
Construction sector
Occupational health for construction and site workforces
Site workforces are mobile, largely contractor-supplied and turn over quickly, which makes verification at the gate more important than the examination itself. Work-at-height fitness is the single decision that carries the most consequence.

Exposure profile
What your people areactually exposed to
The hazards below drive every test in the construction protocol. Nothing is included because it is standard — each one answers a specific exposure.
Silica dust
Cutting, drilling and demolition release respirable crystalline silica, the leading cause of construction-sector pneumoconiosis.
Heat stress
Outdoor work in Indian summer conditions drives cardiovascular and hydration-related risk that screening can quantify in advance.
Contractor workforce churn
High turnover means fitness status must be verifiable at the gate in seconds, not retrieved from a file the next day.
Examination protocol
The test panel, andthe reason for each test
This is the panel an inspector will ask you to justify. Every row states the exposure it answers and the cycle it runs on.
| Test | Why it is in the panel | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Vertigo and balance screen | Work-at-height clearance | Annual |
| ECG and blood pressure | Cardiac fitness for height and heat | Annual |
| Chest radiograph | Silica exposure | Annual |
| Spirometry (PFT) | Respirable dust | Annual |
| Vision screening | Depth perception at height | Annual |
Statutory basis
What the law expectsof this sector
We prepare the registers and evidence in these formats as part of the programme — not as an add-on when an inspection is announced.
Building and Other Construction Workers Act 1996 — health and welfare provisions
BOCW Central Rules 1998 — medical examination of workers in hazardous operations
Work-at-height fitness certification retained for the duration of the contract
Contractor-wise statutory register maintained by the principal employer
