What is a Blood Lead Medical?
Protecting your workforce from the risks of lead exposure — doctor-led testing, fast results, full compliance.
A Blood Lead Medical is a specialist occupational health assessment designed to monitor the levels of lead in an employee's bloodstream. Lead is a toxic heavy metal found in a range of industrial environments, and prolonged or excessive exposure can cause serious and irreversible health damage. Regular blood lead testing is a legal requirement under the Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002 (CLAW) for workers who are at risk of significant lead exposure. At Mayfair Health Group, our doctor-led blood lead medicals are delivered in accordance with applicable Control of Lead at Work requirements while keeping your people safe.
Who Needs Blood Lead Testing?
Under the Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002, employers are legally required to arrange blood lead monitoring for employees who are exposed to lead above the action level. Industries where blood lead testing is commonly required include:
- Construction and demolition
- Battery manufacturing and recycling
- Smelting and metal processing
- Painting and surface coating
- Plumbing and pipework
- Automotive repair and restoration
- Firing ranges and ammunition manufacturing
What Does the Assessment Include?
Our Blood Lead Medicals are carried out by qualified occupational health doctors and include a thorough clinical assessment alongside laboratory blood analysis.
History & Risk Review
Full occupational and medical history review, plus assessment of lead exposure risk in the workplace.
Venous Blood Sample
Venous blood sample taken and sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis.
Doctor-Led Review
Results reviewed and interpreted by an occupational health doctor, with a fitness-for-work determination issued.
Reporting & Action
Written report provided to the employer where appropriate. Referral or further management recommended if blood lead levels are elevated.
Staying Compliant with CLAW 2002
The Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002 sets out clear action levels and suspension levels for blood lead concentrations. Employers must act when these thresholds are reached — failure to do so can result in serious legal consequences.
Mayfair Health Group keeps you ahead of your obligations with timely testing, clear reporting, and expert clinical guidance at every step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs a Blood Lead Medical?
Under the Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002, employers are legally required to arrange blood lead monitoring for any employee exposed to lead above the action level — including workers in construction, demolition, battery manufacturing, smelting, painting, plumbing, automotive restoration, and firing ranges.
How is the blood sample taken?
A venous blood sample is taken by one of our qualified clinicians and sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis. The process is quick, safe, and minimally invasive.
How quickly are results available?
Results are typically available within a few working days. Each result is reviewed by an occupational health doctor, with a written report and fitness-for-work outcome issued promptly.
What happens if blood lead levels are elevated?
If results approach or exceed the action or suspension levels set out in CLAW 2002, our occupational health doctor will advise on next steps — which may include further investigation, removal from exposure, or onward referral.
Can testing be carried out on-site?
Yes. We offer both clinic appointments and mobile on-site testing at your workplace to minimise disruption and ensure consistent monitoring across your workforce.
