FAQ's
-
Why is Occupational Health important for my business?
Occupational Health helps ensure a safe, healthy, and productive workforce. By addressing workplace health risks, it reduces absenteeism, increases productivity, and helps you comply with legal and regulatory requirements, ultimately saving your business money.
-
How can Pre-Employment Health Assessments benefit my company?
These assessments identify whether a potential hire is physically and mentally fit for the role. This reduces the risk of workplace injuries, ensures compliance with job-specific regulations, and helps you make informed hiring decisions.
-
What is Health Surveillance, and does my business need it?
Health Surveillance is the regular monitoring of employee health to detect early signs of work-related conditions. If your workplace exposes employees to hazards like noise, chemicals, or dust, it’s a legal requirement and helps protect your workforce from long-term health issues.
-
Aren't wellness programs just a perk? Why should I invest in them?
While they may seem optional, wellness programs can reduce healthcare costs, improve employee morale, and lower turnover rates. Healthier employees are more engaged and productive, making these programs a smart investment for your business.
-
What should I do if an employee has a health condition that affects their work?
Fit for Work Assessments can determine whether an employee can perform their duties safely and effectively. Based on the findings, you can make accommodations, modify tasks, or implement gradual return-to-work plans to support the employee while maintaining productivity. This saves cost in the long term.
-
What are Workplace Risk Assessments, and how do they help?
These assessments identify potential hazards in your workplace and help you implement controls to prevent accidents or injuries. They're crucial for compliance with health and safety laws and demonstrate your commitment to a safe work environment.
-
Do I need Infection Control and Immunization programs if my workplace isn't in healthcare?
Yes, infection control is important in all industries, especially in environments where employees work in close quarters. Vaccination programs and hygiene practices prevent outbreaks, keep employees healthy, and minimize disruptions to operations. Companies are often surprised by the amount of disruption that can be caused by common illnesses which can be prevented by good hygiene practice.
-
What legal obligations do I have as an employer regarding occupational health?
Employers are required to provide a safe and healthy work environment under occupational health and safety laws. This includes conducting risk assessments, offering health surveillance for hazardous roles, and ensuring reasonable accommodations for employees with health conditions. Failure to comply can result in legal penalties and reputational damage.
-
Is Occupational Health only for big companies? Can small businesses benefit, and is the cost worth it?
Occupational Health is beneficial for businesses of all sizes. For small companies, it can be even more critical, as the absence or reduced productivity of just a few employees can significantly impact operations. Investing in occupational health services helps prevent costly workplace injuries, reduces absenteeism, and improves employee morale and productivity. Additionally, many providers offer scalable solutions tailored to small businesses, making the cost manageable and the benefits far outweigh the investment.
