Occupational health can be an area of anxiety for many employees, whether in training or not. In this blog, we will be answering the question “What is Occupational Health?”

Long-term sickness or disability can contribute to performance issues at work and can sometimes attract investigation from occupational health physicians. Occupational health aims to prevent work-related illness and injury by promoting safe working conditions to meet health and safety regulations and to avoid work-orientated health issues.

Some of the main reasons why an employer may seek occupational health include…

• When an employee is struggling with their physical/mental health
• To make the correct, sensible adjustments for disabled people in the workplace
• Maintaining health and safety regulations
• When an employee has been off sick for an extended period or is returning to work after an illness
• To reduce the amount of time employees may need to take off sick
• Control risks to mental health
