Occupational Health Risk Assessment

This new and innovative product can reduce your Occupational Health Screening costs by up to 60% per annum!

Our experience from conducting the Occupational Plus Health Screens (see below) reveals that 80% of the people screened by an Occupational Health Nurse do not have any risk factors that require further testing. In our trials 94% of the people whofailed the.face to face screens also failed our online version.

By asking relevant questions through a paper based or online questionnaire we are able tofilter those employees who require further testing in the following areas;

Eyesight; Hearing; Lung Function; Allergic Reactions; Skin Surveillance; Musculoskeletal; Hand Arm Vibration; Night Worker; Previous employment issues;Disability Discrimination issues; Key health issues.

As a standard feature within our EAP products, our clients have access to a PDF version of the document, for distribution to all staff. Once the results are collated, we will analyse them at no additional charge, make very clear recommendations.For a small additional charge, we will distribute the forms, collate the responses and then provide the analysis.

The report will state the risk areas and the recommended action to take for each individual. The analysis is made even simpler by using a traffic light system to highlight those people who require urgent attention or simply need to be monitored.

Using our Occupational Health Risk Assessment tool, included FREE within your EAP can reduce your Occupational Health Screening costs by 60% per annum allowing you to focus your budget on remedial and preventative action.  

Night Worker Medical Screening

Every response is reviewed by an Occupational Health Nurse and follow up calls made, to the individual, to clarify any matters (again Free of charge).
