Workplace health-risk assessment

Safeguarding workplaces: The power of Occupational Health assessments

A thriving workplace isn’t just about productivity—it’s about people. Occupational health assessments are a vital tool in maintaining workplace safety, supporting employees through challenges, and ensuring organisations meet health and safety regulations. These reports do more than assess an individual’s fitness for work; they provide actionable insights that help employers make informed decisions, create tailored support systems, and foster a healthier, more sustainable working environment.

By balancing operational needs with employee well-being, these assessments ensure businesses not only comply with regulations but also cultivate a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and able to perform at their best.

Do

  • Find out (from employees) whether they agree with management safety priorities
  • Engage your OH provider when selecting your safety management system
  • Use behavioural as a dialogue when consulting with employees
  • Refer behavioural safety concerns for review by OH
  • Make sure that investigation activities focus on root causes of behaviours
  • Be sure that a behavioural approach is really what you need right now
  • Include OH in the selection of facilitators who understand and advocate for safety

Don't

  • Underestimate the effort and planning required
  • Be over-optimistic
  • Get carried away and lose focus on other aspects of safety
  • Believe that the ‘Heinrich triangle‘ works for occupational ill-health, minor personal injuries and major accidents

Occupational Disability Assessment & Report

We evaluate an employee’s ability to fulfill their job responsibilities while managing a disability or long-term health condition. This assessment goes beyond determining fitness for work—it ensures that individuals receive the necessary support to perform their roles effectively and safely. Through a detailed review of workplace demands, accessibility needs, and potential barriers, the report provides evidence-based recommendations for reasonable adjustments, accommodations, and tailored interventions. Whether modifying duties, adapting workspaces, or implementing flexible schedules, these measures foster a fair and inclusive work environment. By prioritising employee well-being alongside operational efficiency, this report helps organisations uphold their legal and ethical responsibilities while empowering individuals to thrive in their professional roles.

Return-to-Work Assessment & Report

Return-to-Work Assessment & Report supports employees returning after an illness, injury, or extended absence. This evaluation, conducted by occupational health professionals, determines readiness to resume duties while addressing any limitations.

The report provides tailored recommendations, such as phased returns, adjusted duties, or workplace accommodations, ensuring a safe and smooth transition. By prioritising employee health and fostering collaboration, it helps reduce setbacks, reinforces well-being, and maintains a supportive, productive work environment.
