Occupational Health Services Can Seriously Improve Your Business Performance

Since 1950, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have had a shared definition of the meaning of occupational health.

In 1950 the definition was adopted by the Joint ILO/WHO Committee on Occupational Health at its first session in 1950 and they updated it 1995. The definition reads: "Occupational health should aim at: the promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations; the prevention amongst workers of departures from health caused by their working conditions; the protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from factors adverse to health; the placing and maintenance of the worker in an occupational environment adapted to his physiological and psychological capabilities;
and, to summarize, the adaptation of work to man and of each man to his job."

If you are a small business or a large conglomerate; private or public sector, Occupational Health Services can help. Your investment can go a long way.

Occupational Health Services usually includes the following:

Pre-Employment Screening to ensure that potential employees are suitable for the role.

Regular Health Screening to make sure that you maintain the optimum workforce but gives added business benefits.

It gives you the ability to promote this fact to existing customers and also you can provide a solid foundation based on fact to secure new customers.

Why would a new customer go to a competitor when they can be assured that the new supplier has a very happy, healthy and productive team of workers?

Provision of regular monitoring and reporting as you would expect from a professional company of specialists.

A reputable provider will minimise the impact of stress, and demonstrate that you have taken all reasonable steps to ensure a healthy working environment

A well-designed occupational health service will protect against litigation. E.g. workers exposed to chemicals, noise or other pollutants require regular screening.

Professional service providers will deliver value for money through using technology. Being of a size and scale to be able to provide face-to-face services, you will get a better return from a company who has utilised technology such as video and telephone conferencing facilities.

If you are a national company you should ensure that the selected Occupational Health Company has specialists on hand around the UK rather than being confined to a specific geographical region.

You can find all this and more at a reputable occupational health services management provider. It is always wise to try and source a established company with accreditations including ISO 9001. It is also important to source an occupational health provider that work with all sizes of companies across an extensive range of business sectors.
