Overview of Occupational Health Services
Pre-employment screenings
Pre-employment screenings
These tests benchmark the health of employees as they enter your employment. They have the following advantages:
- Early detection and prevention of health conditions: Screenings may identify early signs of health issues, allowing employees to receive prompt treatment and potentially prevent more serious complications in the future.
- Proactive management of existing conditions: If an employee has a pre-existing condition, screenings can help ensure proper accommodations are made within the workplace to support their health and well-being.
- Reduced risk of occupational illness and injury: Screenings can identify individuals who may be at increased risk for certain job-related injuries or illnesses, allowing for adjustments to be made to tasks or environment to minimize risk.
- Increased sense of well-being and trust: Some employees may appreciate the proactive approach to their health and feel more valued by their employer.
Health Surveillance
Health Surveillance
Similar to pre-employment screenings, health surveillance in the workplace also has both potential advantages and disadvantages for employees. Here’s a breakdown:
- Early detection and prevention of occupational illnesses: Regular monitoring can identify early signs of work-related health problems like hearing loss, respiratory issues, or musculoskeletal disorders. This allows for early intervention and treatment, potentially preventing more serious issues down the line.
- Improved overall health and well-being: By proactively addressing occupational health hazards and promoting healthy habits, employees can stay healthier and improve their overall well-being, leading to improved quality of life and potentially reduced healthcare costs.
- Reduced absenteeism and presenteeism: Early detection and management of health issues can prevent employees from needing to take sick leave, ultimately leading to improved productivity and lower costs for the employer.
Increased awareness and knowledge: Participating in health surveillance programs can raise awareness about occupational health risks and healthy behaviours, empowering employees to make informed choices about their well-being.

Ergonomics consultations
Ergonomics consultations
Employers should undertake ergonomic assessments for a variety of reasons, as they offer significant benefits for both the business and its employees. Here are some key advantages:
Increased Employee Well-being and Reduced Risk of Injury:
- Reduced musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs): Improper workstation setup and repetitive tasks can lead to painful and debilitating MSDs like carpal tunnel syndrome and back pain. Ergonomic assessments identify and address these risks, promoting employee health and reducing the need for sick leave and workers’ compensation claims.
- Improved comfort and focus: Comfortable and well-designed workstations lead to reduced fatigue, discomfort, and stress, allowing employees to work more productively and effectively.
- Increased job satisfaction: Feeling supported and valued by their employer through ergonomic investments can improve employee morale and job satisfaction, potentially reducing turnover and attracting top talent.
Enhanced Productivity and Efficiency:
- Reduced wasted time and errors: Awkward postures and poorly designed workstations can lead to wasted time adjusting and correcting errors. Ergonomic improvements can streamline workflow and minimize these disruptions.
- Improved concentration and accuracy: Comfortable and accessible workstations create a focus-friendly environment, leading to fewer distractions and improved accuracy in tasks.
- Reduced fatigue and breaks: By addressing physical discomfort, ergonomic interventions can reduce the need for frequent breaks, ultimately increasing productive work time.
Cost Savings and Return on Investment (ROI):
- Reduced healthcare costs: Preventing MSDs and associated treatment costs can lead to significant financial savings for the employer.
