Occupational Health
KB Occupational Health will provide services that meet the specific needs of your organisation, including health surveillance programmes to meet the identified hazards of your work activities and to support and advise you on employee health and or disability issues.
Our services are delivered on site for those elements that require it, such as hand arm vibration assessments, skin checks or other health surveillance programmes. If it meets your needs better, we also provide a remote service where the majority of the work is completed by telephone and email with structured visits organised to your site as your Occupational Health needs demand. This service negates the need for the Occupational Health Specialist to have 'space' allocated on a regular basis and will only require a room when the needs dictate. We find this service particularly cost effective for Sickness Absence Management.
