Occupational Health

Off- Shore Medical

Is a medical assessment for an employee’s fitness to work, requested by an employer, after a job offer has been established. This is carried out by experienced healthcare practitioners to assess the risk/challenges associated with the job and employee’s medical fitness to fulfil the duties and responsibilities of the job. This also factors in the level of immunity and vaccinations expected of the individual employee.

Sickness Absence Case Management

Sickness absence is inevitable in any workplace; employees will be absent due to sickness or illness. This type of absence will naturally resolve itself, but for a small number of employees, sickness absence can lead to much longer work time lost. The majority of which are genuine sickness absences, which will likely end within seven days – this is referred to as short term absence – while recurrent absences lasting longer than seven days could be referred to as long term sickness. The impact of such absenteeism on work productivity, working environment and the individual becomes the point of assessment for the physician.

Occupational health deals with all aspects of health and safety in the workplace and has a strong focus on primary prevention of hazards. The health of the workers has several determinants, including risk factors at the workplace leading to cancers, accidents, musculoskeletal diseases, respiratory diseases, hearing loss, circulatory diseases, stress related disorders and communicable diseases and others.

Employment and working conditions in the formal or informal economy embrace other important determinants, including, working hours, salary, workplace policies concerning maternity leave, health promotion and protection provisions, etc. (WHO International)
