EVERWELL OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH

Health Promotion.

 

Occupational Health professionals are ideally suited to promote good health both at home and in the workplace.  Either as part of their routine job or as special one-off promotional days, the OH Advisor (OHA) could promote and  support national issues such as no smoking days, alcohol and drug abuse initiatives, healthy eating,  etc… Alternatively the OHA can target specific areas relevant to the individual workplaces, for example skin care, exposure to sunlight, general hygiene, eyesight health (for VDU users), physical fitness, noise exposure, etc…..

 

Note: With the HSE reporting 12.8 million days lost to stress in 2004/05, an increasingly requested subject for a special promotional event is Stress and this can be targeted towards office staff, operatives or both. 

 

As part of a general employee welfare service, employees can also be offered a periodic voluntary health check (blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI, eyesight check, etc….) which would allow them to discuss lifestyle issues with the OH nurse.

 

There are a million and one ways of delivering health promotion, so please contact us today and together we can work out what the most appropriate approach is for you and your company.
