Our Approach
Measuring and Meetings the Needs of our Clients
‘Occupational health is a multi-faceted activity concerned with the prevention of ill-health in employed populations. This involves consideration of the two way relationship between work and health. It is as much related to the effects of the working environment on the health workers, as to the influence of the workers’ state of health on their ability to perform the tasks for which they were employed. Our main aim is to prevent, rather than cure, ill health from wherever it arises in the workplace.’ (J M Harrington et al 1998).
Increasingly complex health and safety legislation, rapidly changing work environments and improved employee expectations have all raised the priority now given to occupational healthcare.
An effective Occupational Health Service will promote proactive management of your health issues.
The complexities of the employment scene have shifted the traditional emphasis away from the structure of ‘see the health affect, diagnose the illness, find the cause’ to the more pro-active stance of ‘control the exposure and monitor the effects.’
