After making the decision earlier in the year to move 100% of our occupational health service provision to NPH, we could not be happier with the service levels. NPH has worked in partnership with MGL and complements our culture and values, providing an impartial service working on behalf of ourselves and our employees to keep people at work and to get people back to work.
A systematic review of the service provided has resulted from a good collaboration, streamlining the service to ensure the offering available is the most suitable to the business needs and flexible enough to accommodate changes at short notice due to the demands of working in a dynamic industry.

Health Surveillance – Why prevention is better than cure
Poor health changes lives. It makes basic day-to-day activities harder, impacts mental health and can restrict a person’s ability to earn a living.
Health Surveillance can identify potential health risks before they occur, leading to early interventions that help prevent the unnecessary suffering, restrictions, costs to life and decreased workplace performance that come from disease.
In our latest article we explore what common factors increase the risk of poor employee health and discuss what interventions can be put in place to protect your employees whilst at work.

Health Surveillance is a systematic process of monitoring the health and exposures of an employee in their job role. It is often required by law for roles that involve exposure to noise, vibration, respiratory risks (such as solvents, fumes etc), skin irritants and intensive light exposure.
Health records should be kept for at least the period specified in the regulation eg. 40 years under the Control of substances Hazardous to Health regulations (COSHH). If the regulations do not specify then records should be kept for at least the period that the employee is employed.
Please refer to the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) website for support in identifying your Health Surveillance requirements: https://www.hse.gov.uk/health-surveillance/
Temporary workers are not legally required to have Health Surveillance, but they should be informed of what the requirement is. If a risk assessment states that Health Surveillance is required this lies with the employer (eg agency).
Following a risk assessment those identified as requiring Health Surveillance will be invited by the employer to attend a clinic to see a clinician. A series of health checks will be conducted dependent on their employment (eg. Audio, Spirometry). The findings of these checks will be recorded and any advice for further testing or adjustments required in the workplace will be sent to the employer with the employees consent.
