| Occupational Health - An Overview |
|
Proactive
Occupational Health is a specialist area of medicine that focuses on preventing employees from being injured or becoming ill as a result of their work. |
|
| Under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and other legislation, employers have a duty to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of their employees. |
|
| Ark Occupational Health can help you to fulfil this duty as an employer. |
|
| Medical Advice and Support
Occupational health professionals can also provide advice and support to employees who have health problems and assess their ability to be at, or to return to, work. |
