Placement screening and fitness for work
Health surveillance is a system of monitoring employees’ health and carrying out ongoing health checks to ensure they are continually protected and supported.
Health surveillance is required by law, and employers have a general duty of care to ensure the health, safety and welfare of all their employees. An employee’s attendance for health surveillance is mandatory where a risk assessment has established there’s a need for health surveillance.
We are passionate about helping employers run happy, productive companies, and we’re experts when it comes to ensuring employees remain healthy and supported.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Britain’s national regulator for workplace health and safety, carries out targeted inspections and investigations to prevent workplace death, injury or ill health. The HSE will take enforcement action to prevent harm in the workplace and hold businesses who break the law to account.
Robust occupational health practices keep your organisation legally compliant.
They also help both employer and employee through what can be highly complex and emotive situations and display to your workforce that your business is empathic and seeks to make adjustments for ill health.
