WORKPLACE SITE VISITS

A designated occupational health advisor / nurse allocated to your business allowing us to get to know your people, their jobs and the environment in which they work by arranged periodic visits. Experience has shown that this proactive interface has enabled the occupational health team to build a rapport with the workforce. This in turn facilitates the implementation and acceptance of preventative strategies as advocated in current health and safety legislation.

PEOPLE ASSESSMENTS

In many cases these can be carried out on your premises saving you valuable time and expense. We use the latest portable technology and equipment allowing us to graphically demonstrate changes in hearing and lung function to individuals, motivating them to adopt a preventative approach.

INVESTIGATION OF MEDICAL ISSUES IN THE WORKPLACE

We have considerable experience in investigating a wide range of irregular and isolated issues over many years occurring in the workplace. Some of these have no relationship to the workplace others have been medical issues made worse by work and we have also identified issues caused by the work environment.

In all cases management, employees and the occupational health team work together to investigate and resolve the problems arising. We have an effective network of relevant experts to call on as required.

Examples of such investigations include

  • Lung function problems identified due to inappropriate working practices.
  • Muscular disorders in the upper limbs arising due to inadequate work rotation and/or appropriate awareness training.
  • Back problems have been associated with poor working posture and indeed problems outside the workplace.
  • The contribution of an underlying medical problem to an accident at work.
  • The misplace perception, in one case that stress has been caused by work.

LUNG FUNCTION TESTS

This is carried out at all repair garages, companies or factories that use noxious substances or have a high noise level. Often regular lung function and audio tests are a legal requirement to comply with COSHH regulations. (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health). Dependant on the industry, the tests are normally carried out on a minimum of once a year.

We use computerised vitalograph lung function testing equipment. The test results are explained to the individual being tested and where appropriate, advice is given on procedures to follow to ensure continued good lung function and identify people who may be at a higher risk in certain environments. Subsequent tests are superimposed on the baseline allowing progressive changes to be immediately identified and communicated to the individual concerned. Where appropriate a letter is sent with the Vitalograph printout to the individual's GP outlining any abnormal findings thus facilitating appropriate follow up as required.
