So what should I expect from occupational health provision?

As the employer it is your role and legal duty to ensure the health of your workforce in relation to any risk of or from exposure they encounter at work. A competent occupational health service provider will be able to help you prioritise and make decisions.

You should;




	Share your risk assessments with your occupational health provider

	Make sure they observe the workers and the work they do by giving them time to do this

	Come up with a list together under red ( must dos) , amber ( good practice) and green ( e.g. lifestyle issues not legally required or necessarily work related)

	Set up front your expectations from the service being provided
	
		
			Communication
		
			Feedback of results
		
			Roles and responsibilities
	


	Agree a timescale for review.
