Statutory investigations

Cadmium

Health check when working with cadmium in accordance with Section 54 of the Swedish Work Environment Authority's Regulations on Medical Checks at Work (AFS 2019:3), with assessment for certificate of service.

The health check-up is aimed to all employees with ongoing or planned cadmium exposure in accordance with the Swedish Work Environment Authority's regulations for Medical Checks at Work (AFS 2019:3). A medical examination shall be carried out before the work begins and every three years thereafter. If the work ceases for more than 12 months, the check-up may be suspended for the corresponding period.

The medical check-up shows whether there is a risk of ill health when exposed to cadmium. The examination detects at an early stage an increased uptake and an increased storage of cadmium in the body.

A medical check-up for cadmium shall be preceded by a risk assessment of the working environment to ensure that the work is carried out safely.
