What is Occupational Health?
It's your responsibility as an employer to ensure the health and wellbeing of your staff. A great way to do this is by utilising occupational health services.
An occupational health service monitors both the physical and mental health of your employees. This is especially necessary in more dangerous industries, such as welding, construction, and manufacturing.
Failure to take care of staff wellbeing could lead to higher sickness absence, negligence fines, and even reputational damage.
Occupational Health & Safety is important for several reasons. Most significantly, it ensures the physical and mental wellbeing of your employees, but it also helps your business:
- Reduce sickness absence.
- Reinforce itself as a trusted employer.
- Retain healthier and happier employees.
Not to mention, it also helps your company comply with relevant employment legislation.
