Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during an occupational health referral?
During an occupational health referral, the employee will undergo a comprehensive assessment conducted by one of our qualified occupational health professionals. This process typically involves a review of the employee's health history, a discussion about their current health status, and an evaluation of their fitness for work. The findings are documented in a report that provides recommendations for the employer, which may include suggestions for reasonable adjustments, return-to-work plans, or further medical investigations if necessary.
Can I refer an employee for stress or mental health concerns?
Absolutely. You can refer an employee for stress or mental health concerns. Our occupational health specialists are trained to handle such sensitive issues with care and confidentiality. We provide support through assessments that focus on the individual's mental wellbeing, and we can recommend appropriate interventions or adjustments to help the employee manage their situation effectively.
What is health surveillance and who needs it?
Health surveillance is a systematic approach to monitoring the health of employees who may be exposed to specific workplace hazards, such as noise, chemicals, or other harmful substances. It is essential for ensuring that any potential health issues are identified early and managed appropriately. Employees who work in environments with known health risks, such as those in manufacturing, construction, or healthcare, typically require health surveillance to comply with health and safety regulations.
Why are new starter health questionnaires required?
New starter health questionnaires are required to assess the health status of new employees prior to their commencement of work. This assessment helps identify any pre-existing conditions that may affect their ability to perform their job safely and effectively. It also aids in ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations and assists in developing appropriate workplace adjustments or support systems.
What is a workplace or DSE assessment?
A workplace assessment, also known as a Display Screen Equipment (DSE) assessment, evaluates the workstation setup and the working environment of employees who use computers or other display screens. The assessment aims to identify any risks related to ergonomics, posture, and overall health. Recommendations are then provided to improve the workstation setup, ensuring it is comfortable and safe for the employee, thereby reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and enhancing productivity.
Can you provide ergonomic advice?
Yes, we offer ergonomic advice as part of our occupational health services. Our specialists can assess workstations and provide recommendations to enhance comfort and efficiency. This includes guidance on proper posture, workstation layout, and equipment adjustments to minimise the risk of injury and improve overall employee wellbeing. Our goal is to create a healthier and more productive work environment through effective ergonomic solutions.
