Our Occupational Health Services
We provide a comprehensive range of occupational health services designed to support employers across multiple industries, from health surveillance to specialist medical assessments, helping you manage risk, ensure compliance, and protect your workforce.
Spirometry (Lung Function Testing)
Spirometry is a key component of occupational health surveillance, providing an objective assessment of lung function and helping to identify early signs of respiratory impairment in employees.
Audiometry (Hearing Tests)
Audiometry is a key component of occupational health surveillance, providing an objective assessment of hearing and helping to identify early signs of noise-induced hearing loss. It supports employers in monitoring workplace noise exposure and protecting the long-term health of their workforce.
HAVS Assessments
HAVS assessments are a key part of occupational health surveillance, helping to identify early signs of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome and monitor the impact of vibration exposure. They support employers in managing workplace risks, maintaining compliance, and protecting the long-term health of their workforce.
Ionising Radiation Medicals
Ionising radiation medicals are a key component of occupational health surveillance, ensuring employees working with or exposed to radiation are medically fit and appropriately monitored. They support employers in meeting regulatory requirements, managing risk, and protecting the long-term health of their workforce.
Drug & Alcohol Testing
Drug and alcohol testing is an essential part of workplace health and safety, helping employers identify and manage risks associated with substance misuse. Our testing services support compliance, promote a safe working environment, and protect the wellbeing of your workforce.
Safety Critical Medicals
Safety critical medicals ensure employees are fit to carry out high-risk roles safely and effectively. They support employers in managing risk, meeting regulatory requirements, and maintaining a safe working environment.
Fork Lift Truck Driver Medicals
Fork lift truck driver medicals ensure operators are fit to work safely, helping employers meet health and safety requirements and reduce the risk of workplace incidents. Our assessments support compliance while protecting both employees and the wider workforce.
HGV Driver Medicals
Driving a Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) carries significant responsibility. Drivers must be medically fit to operate safely, given the size and weight of these vehicles. HGV medicals support compliance with DVLA requirements, helping employers manage risk and protect both drivers and the wider public.
Pre Employment Screening
Pre-employment screening helps ensure candidates are medically fit for their role before they start work. It supports employers in making informed hiring decisions, reducing risk, and ensuring compliance with health and safety requirements from day one.
New Starter Medicals
When employees start roles involving safety responsibilities or exposure to workplace risks, it’s essential to ensure they are medically fit to begin work safely. New starter medicals provide a thorough assessment of employee health, helping identify any adjustments required and supporting a safe, compliant start from day one.
Ill Health Retirement Assessments
Ill health retirement assessments provide an independent medical evaluation to determine whether an employee meets the criteria for retirement on health grounds. They support employers in making fair, evidence-based decisions while ensuring compliance with relevant policies and pension requirements.
Management Referrals/Absence Management
Management referrals provide expert clinical guidance on employee health concerns, supporting effective absence management and return-to-work planning. They help employers make informed decisions, reduce absence, and ensure employees are supported appropriately.
