WHAT IS OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH?
- Occupational health refers to the promotion and maintenance of physical, mental, and social well-being in the workplace. It aims to prevent work-related injuries, illnesses, and disabilities, as well as promote positive health outcomes for employees.
THE BENEFITS OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
- A healthy workforce can bring productivity, improved employee morale, and reduced absenteeism. Moreover, a safe and healthy work environment can prevent accidents and injuries, reducing healthcare costs and potential legal liabilities for employers.
HOW TO PROMOTE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH IN THE WORKPLACE?
- Identify and Assess Hazards– regular risk assessments to identify potential hazards, including physical, chemical, biological, and psychosocial.
- Implement Preventative Measures – such as by providing personal protective equipment, conducting training and education programs, and implementing policies and procedures to address potential risks.
- Encourage Healthy Habits – by providing healthy food options, promoting physical activity, and offering mental health support services.
- Provide Health Screenings – such as blood pressure and cholesterol screenings, to identify potential health risks which can help identify potential health risks and provide early intervention to prevent more severe conditions.
- Support Return-to-Work Programs – Employers can provide return to work programme to support employees during their recovery, including modified work arrangements and rehabilitation programs.
I needed help with lower back pain which was affecting me alot. My insurance initially recommended another company but after 2 sessions I left due to poor treatment. I was then referred to Kelechi . He was patient, thorough and listened carefully. After 8 weeks , my pain has almost disappeared and not only that I have a maintenance programme I can use to ensure I do not have a repeat issue. Kelechi is always pleased to see you and makes you feel very at ease . A very positive experienceHi I really recommend a physio to anyone with back pain. Big thank to Kelechi, he helped me go back to normal life again. 8 appoitments plus exercise what was recomended and my back is a lot better. So 5 star for a good services is well deservedRegards Tom Lan.I cannot thank Physiopoint Hall Green enough. My aunt was in considerable pain and from an initial call, Anand was with her within the hour. Thank you for finding a way to attend so quickly and ease her pain and reassure her. The whole process was extremely efficient and communication impeccable. I would highly recommend this practice, as it is rare to find such care and efficiency.Physiopoint let me introduce my lovely physio, Anand, boy does this guy like to cause me some pain 😫 amazing progress made over the last 4 weeks. Arrived on two crutches and now just on one walking stick. I needed Anand in my life months ago and my recovery would have been much further forward. Cannot recommend him highly enough but his sense of humour needs some work 🤣🤣🤣I’ve been seeing Anand due to a knee patella fracture whilst waiting for a NHS Physiotherapist for rehabilitation. Anand is very welcoming and honest, he is very proficient with what he’s doing. I’ve gained not only useful exercises to help with range of knee motion as well as strengthening those lost muscles, but also the confidence that I’m right on my track to fully get back to normal life. I will definitely recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a decent physiotherapist.
