What Services Does Occupational Health Services Provide?

We provide a range of occupational health services that address workplace health needs. Our services are designed to help employers maintain a safe and healthy work environment while ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations.

• Occupational Health Assessments: Comprehensive evaluations to determine fitness for work, focusing on both physical and mental health. We assess employees against established standards such as the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations.
• Workplace Health Surveillance: Ongoing monitoring to identify health risks early, using techniques like audiometry for noise-exposed workers and spirometry for lung function testing, typically recommended at yearly intervals. This helps in mitigating potential health issues and reducing absenteeism.
• Medical Assessments: Tailored evaluations based on specific job roles, including mandatory driver's medicals and assessments for night workers as required by regulations such as the Working Time Directive.
• Occupational Screening: Pre-employment and routine checks to ensure employee health, including drug and alcohol testing and vision screening for those in safety-critical positions.

By integrating these services, we aim to create healthier workplaces and support employee well-being. Contact us to learn how we can assist your organisation.

When Is Occupational Health Services Needed?

Our services are essential when managing potential health risks within the workplace. Employers should engage us when new roles are introduced, employees change roles, or specific health issues arise.

In sectors such as construction and manufacturing, regular health surveillance monitors exposure to hazardous substances like asbestos and silica dust, which can lead to long-term health problems. We also assist in ensuring compliance with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines, which outline the necessities for occupational health assessments.

Periodic screenings support ongoing employee well-being in environments with high noise levels, where audiometry tests help prevent hearing loss. Additionally, when employees are exposed to ergonomic risks, our musculoskeletal assessments help prevent work-related injuries.

Whether for safety-critical roles in transport and logistics requiring vision assessments or managing stress in high-pressure environments, our occupational health services provide the support needed to maintain a healthy workforce. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

We follow a structured process to deliver our services efficiently, ensuring each step meets industry standards and regulatory requirements.

1. Initial Consultation: During this stage, we assess your organisation's specific needs by examining workplace hazards and compliance with regulations such as the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. This may involve on-site evaluations and employee interviews.
2. Customised Planning: Based on our findings, we develop health assessment plans tailored to address identified risks. These plans may include health surveillance programmes, ergonomic assessments, and mental health support initiatives.
