When Is Occupational Health Needed?

Occupational health assessments are essential when physical or psychological issues affect an employee's work. These assessments are crucial in a variety of situations, such as when an employee faces extended sickness absence or when there are potential workplace adjustments needed due to injury or illness.

Circumstances such as return-to-work scenarios and health surveillance for specific roles or industries require expert intervention to ensure compliance with industry standards like the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. At Private Occupational Health, we provide timely support by conducting assessments that include spirometry for respiratory issues, audiometry for hearing tests, and mental health evaluations using tools like the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ).
