An Asbestos Medical Health Check is a vital health assessment for workers who have been around asbestos, a dangerous material that can cause serious health problems like lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. These checks are meant to watch for early signs of asbestos-related diseases by doing regular tests such as lung function tests and physical exams. The goal is to find any possible health problems early, so they can be treated promptly. Workers who have been near asbestos, especially in jobs like construction, shipbuilding, and manufacturing, need to get these health checks often to stay safe and healthy. Early detection through these tests is very important in stopping asbestos-related illnesses from getting worse, as these conditions can take many years to show up.
At The Health Suite Leicester, skilled healthcare experts make sure that workers get the right help and care to spot and handle any asbestos issues early. This forward-thinking method aims to protect people’s long-term health and safety, emphasising early detection and quick medical action. An asbestos medical health check review entails a holistic health examination and a lung function analysis, wrapping up in about 45 minutes. This can happen at our facility or your location.
For licensed reviews, expect legal paperwork upon arrival. In contrast, non-licensed ones require only a consent form. Post-review, our medical professionals issue a two-year valid health certificate.
Our Occupational Health doctors are HSE-appointed and able to carry out licensed and non-licensed asbestos medicals.

Have you worked with or been exposed to asbestos dust or fibres?
If you’ve handled or been near asbestos‑containing materials — especially in construction, demolition or maintenance — you may be at risk of asbestos‑related health effects. A medical health check evaluates lung health and tracks potential consequences of past exposure.
Do you experience a persistent cough or breathlessness?
Asbestos exposure can lead to lung function changes over time. Symptoms like a long‑term cough or breathlessness warrant assessment to measure respiratory capacity and screen for early warning signs of asbestos‑related conditions.
Have you noticed chest pain or reduced exercise tolerance?
Chest discomfort or fatigue on exertion can be linked to respiratory or cardiovascular stress. An asbestos medical includes respiratory evaluation to identify issues and determine whether your lungs and heart are coping well.
Do you have a history of smoking combined with asbestos exposure?
Smoking significantly increases the risk of lung damage in people exposed to asbestos. A combined history warrants careful lung health evaluation to assess function and reduce long‑term risk.
Are you required by your employer or safety policy to undergo an asbestos health check?
Workplaces with past or present asbestos risks may incorporate medical checks into safety programmes. A professional health check ensures compliance and documentation of fitness for work around potential asbestos exposure.
Do you want reassurance about your respiratory health after working in at‑risk environments?
Even years after exposure, concerns about lung health are common. A health check helps assess your current respiratory status, providing clarity and any guidance needed for ongoing monitoring.

Asbestos exposure can impact lung function. This medical includes structured respiratory tests (e.g., spirometry) to assess airflow, lung capacity, and overall respiratory health, helping detect early changes before they become serious.
Exposure History Review & Risk Assessment
A detailed review of your occupational history and exposure helps estimate your risk profile. Clinicians assess past contacts with asbestos and correlate symptoms with exposure levels to guide health planning.
Symptom Screening for Asbestos‑Related Conditions
Persistent cough, breathlessness or chest discomfort can be signs of lung irritation or early disease. The check screens for these symptoms and evaluates their significance in the context of asbestos exposure.
Imaging & Further Investigation Recommendations
If clinical findings suggest potential asbestos‑related changes (e.g., pleural changes or reduced lung volumes), clinicians can recommend imaging or specialist investigations (such as chest X‑rays or CT scans) for definitive assessment.
Advice, Documentation & Follow‑Up Planning
You receive clear feedback regarding your respiratory status, risk level and recommended follow‑up. This includes guidance on monitoring, further tests if needed and documentation for occupational health records or insurance purposes.
