Challenge

Services provided under the Health and Safety umbrella are generally more focused on the safety side. While there are many providers of safety training and consulting services, Employee Health Services are not as readily available.

Employee health hazards may be present in a workplace. Company management may not know how to proceed with understanding the risks and protecting the employees.

New hire employees may bring injuries and conditions from previous employers. Will these conditions affect performance and create potential liability?

Designing effective medical surveillance programs requires specific skills and training.

Effective return to work (case management) requires specific information about employee conditions that is often difficult to obtain.

Ergonomic issues can have a severe impact on employee health. Understanding and dealing with ergonomic issues requires specific skills and training.
