"Each year over 2 million people suffer from ill health that they believe is linked to their work, 20,000 of these cases were significant enough to warrant those people to see a specialist" Health & Safety Executive, HSE 2005. All these people were employed and the cost of establishing the cause of their illness impacted in some way on their employer. Securing Health together the HSC's 10 year strategy strives to help employers to diminish these risks.
Whilst accident reduction schemes have been implemented for some time and are having an impact on the workplace, figures for ill health potentially linked to work are rising, making it now the time to put the focus on the "H" in Health & Safety.
At Practical Occupational Health Solutions we realise that many organisations can struggle with managing health risks due to the complex medical terminology and confidentiality with which these cases present. By offering a cost effective, practical solutions focused approach to managing health risks, we believe that we can achieve the following;
Improved staff motivation and performance Better staff attendance and retention Increased productivity Reduction in sickness absence levels Reduce the cost of litigation Increased profitability
Ill health linked to work can be avoided with the implementation of good pro active Occupational Health Services adopting a positive approach to health risk management.
