WHS Health Monitoring, Audiometric or Fitness-for-Work Medical Record

Statutory worker health monitoring records under the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (Qld) and the model WHS Regulations: health monitoring reports for hazardous chemicals listed in Schedule 14 (including crystalline silica, isocyanates, cadmium and arsenic; ss 368, 374-378), lead (ss 406-418, blood lead levels) and asbestos (ss 435-444), audiometric testing for noise (s 58), plus pre-employment medicals and fitness-for-work / periodic medical assessments. The Regulation requires these reports to name the worker and date of birth, the registered medical practitioner and registration number, test results, disease advice, remedial recommendations and counselling needs, and to be kept as confidential records (30 years for hazardous chemicals and lead, 40 years for asbestos) not disclosed without the worker's written consent. Workplace drug and alcohol testing is out of scope (see au-drug-alcohol-test-result).

Type: regex
Engine: boost_regex
Confidence: medium
Confidence justification: Medium: the report types are distinctive and test-result shapes (spirometry, blood lead, audiogram thresholds) are strong, but the same terms fill WHS guidance, codes of practice and occupational health brochures. Enforce tiers therefore need a populated worker plus a result value, and 85 needs practitioner / recommendation / exposure detail. 85/75 are heuristic evidence tiers, not measured accuracy; test values are synthetic records laid out like a s 374 / s 440 health monitoring report and a typical audiometric report.

Known false positives

WHS Regulation text, codes of practice, Safe Work Australia health monitoring guides and WorkSafe fact sheets. Mitigation: Guidance names the report fields without values and stays at 65 discovery; legislation markers, "this guide / fact sheet" and course wording are excluded from enforce tiers.
Blank health monitoring and audiometry forms. Mitigation: Blank lines and bracket placeholders are rejected for worker fields, and result structures need a numeric value or a finding.
Occupational health provider marketing and news. Mitigation: No populated worker field and result value, so these stay at 65.
Drug and alcohol testing records. Mitigation: Out of scope - no drug and alcohol term is a primary; those records belong to au-drug-alcohol-test-result.
