Occupational Health Surveillance
Ensuring you have a healthy and motivated workforce
What is Occupational Health surveillance and monitoring?
Occupational Health Surveillance is a multi-disciplinary approach to ensuring people are safe and healthy at work.
Occupational health services ensure that people are fit for work after an illness or injury, provide support to people in the workplace with any medical conditions or disabilities which may require special equipment and/or workplace adjustments and offer support where needed.
Why do you need Occupational Health Surveillance and monitoring?
Maintaining a fit and healthy workforce can often include many different services and solutions. Employees working in more manual jobs may require help with workplace related injuries and illnesses, whilst office workers may experience health problems in different areas, but whatever the illness or injury, occupational health & safety teams can ensure a smooth transition when leaving for illness and returning to work. Occupational Health teams can also help you to make adjustments for your employees based on their knowledge and expertise.
