Keeping employees safe from drugs and alcohol
Misuse of substances can have a significant impact on individuals and organisations and is of growing concern in the UK.
HCC has a range of cost effective solutions to ensure employers can benchmark their workforce's health and protect the organisation as well as their employees.
We will work with you to provide an overview of the current health situation within your workforce, highlight any concerns, trends and, if necessary, arrange face to face assessments for your staff with our professional team of Occupational Health Nurses and Physicians.
HCC will maintain the occupational health database for your existing workforce and ensure that new recruits provide full occupational and medical history to benchmark their current health status, helping avoid claims for injuries that pre-date their employment with you.
Some of the areas we survey covered under a full health surveillance programme are Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS), innoculations history, working at night and noise induced hearing loss.
If your working environment dictates specialist areas to be included in your health surveillance programme then we will be pleased to discuss your requirements and we adapt our processes to suit your needs.
We are well versed in the legal requirements and for health surveillance programmes and whilst working with HCC we will ensure the process is made easy by putting in place the process by working with you to put in place the necessary procedures to pass any audit requirements.
