Health surveillance
Audiometry, COSHH skin and lung checks, HAVS, isocyanate monitoring, forklift medicals and night worker assessments, all on-site and all in line with HSE regulations.

Absence cost calculator
What is sickness absence really costing you?
Move the sliders. Most employers underestimate it, because the salary paid to absent staff is only the start.
Estimated annual cost of absence
£0
- Short-term £0
- Long-term £0
- Up to 30% saving £0
Salary cost only (salary ÷ 228 working days), before cover, overtime and lost output, so the real figure is usually higher. Saving assumes early OH intervention cuts long-term absence by up to 30%.

All FAQsWhat is occupational health?
Occupational health is about the two-way relationship between work and health: making sure work doesn’t harm your people, and that people with health conditions are supported to work safely and productively. It covers health surveillance, sickness absence case management, fitness-for-work assessments, and health and wellbeing.
Is health surveillance a legal requirement?
Often, yes. It’s required where employees are exposed to certain hazards, including noise above 85 dB(A), hand-arm vibration at or above the action value, substances hazardous to health such as respiratory and skin sensitisers, and others. Our surveillance checker shows which apply to you.
Do you come to us?
Yes. Our assessments, testing and health checks happen on-site at your premises, so your people spend as little time away from work as possible.
How quickly do we get a case management report?
Our practitioners provide a comprehensive report within 24 hours of the assessment, setting out the employee’s fitness for their contractual duties or the alternative tasks they could do.
What does the portal cost?
Nothing. Our secure online portal is a free addition to our services. Use it to refer employees, send questionnaires, track case status and download reports.
