OHA Service
Occupational Health Assessments for Employers for SME’s
We provide help and support to employers who want a detailed report on the issues that are preventing their employee to return to work.
How it works
The occupational health assessment is used to gain information and advice about the issues the employee has in remaining in or returning to work. It is a non-medical assessment, which will help their manager to understand what kind of support needs to be put in place to help the employee to work effectively.
The assessment is a two-step process:
A referral form is sent to the line manager/employer that asks them to outline the issues they see from their perspective that may have caused sickness absence and what may be the barriers preventing a return to work or be causing problems at work.
The Occupational Health Adviser will use the referral form as a guide to ask the employee about their views on their health and work, to enable them to write a report and give some recommendations that will help both the employee and the line manager/employer to work out the best way forward.
The report is not sent to the line manager/employer until the employee has consented that the report is accurate and reflects their views of the conversation that they have had with the Occupational Health Adviser. The reports are confidential, they are not seen by any SOHAS staff, apart from the author.
We aim to produce a report within 15 working days.
