Occupational Health Services in Birmingham
Does your rate of workplace absences seem higher than the norm? Or have you noticed an unexplained decline in productivity? If so, other workplace factors might be at play, so it’s best to engage the services of a trusted occupational health specialist.
At Healthier Workforce, we work with businesses across Birmingham to identify work-related health conditions affecting the workplace and provide a range of recommendations that support both the employer and the employee. We offer a range of occupational health services, including:
Every business is different, which is why we’ll liaise closely with your team and get to know how your business operates so we can provide the most suitable support. If your workplace has specific hazards present, we can provide specialist assessments to help you manage risk and meet your legal obligations, including forklift medical assessments, night worker assessments, workplace assessments and individual health assessments.
Occupational Health Management Referrals
Whether you are familiar with occupational health services or this is your first time engaging occupational health practitioners, we provide complete transparency throughout the entire process so you know exactly what it entails.
To start with, you’ll complete an online occupational health management referral consisting of a few simple questions about your reason for seeking support. This form will then be reviewed by our triage nurses so they can understand the details of your individual case; from this, they can determine what is required and offer a quote outlining the expected fees.
Based on these findings, we will arrange an occupational health assessment to identify any workplace factors that might be affecting an employee’s mental or physical health. During this appointment, one of our qualified clinicians will have an open, in-depth conversation with the employee to get a better understanding of their health and how it affects their ability to do their job. We take a flexible, impartial approach, listening carefully to you and your employees for results that benefit all parties involved.
Following this, we’ll prepare a detailed, evidence-based report that provides an independent opinion on the employee’s fitness for work, along with practical recommendations for any reasonable adjustments or ongoing support.
Health Surveillance
As the old saying goes, prevention is better than cure, and ongoing health surveillance is a proactive way to stop occupational diseases from developing in the first place. In a high-risk environment, this is even more important as employees may be regularly exposed to certain hazards – such as excessive noise, dust and chemicals – that can cause long-term issues if not properly monitored.
Health surveillance enables any issues to be identified at an early stage so you can take quick, timely action. At Healthier Workforce, we provide a range of health surveillance services for businesses across Birmingham, including:
By implementing health surveillance measures, you can reduce absenteeism, create a safer workplace and demonstrate your commitment to employee health and wellbeing.
