What is an Occupational Health assessment?

An Occupational Health assessment is a medical evaluation carried out by a qualified Occupational Health clinician. The purpose is to advise employers on an employee’s health in relation to work and provide practical, evidence-based recommendations. This supports safe return to work, fair decision-making and appropriate adjustments.
