Occupational health plays a vital role in helping employers care for and understand the needs of their employees. It concerns the two-way relationship between work activities and the health of the employees who are participating in these work activities. Occupational health is a vital component of HR policy which must be understood and completed in order to enable employers to understand and comply with Health and Safety legislation and to ensure workplace risks are effectively managed.
Due to more rigorous occupational health and safety legislation being in place, many industrial diseases have virtually disappeared. However, the amount of time and money which is being lost as a result of staff illnesses is greater than ever.
Lots of factors which are directly related to modern day living such as social changes, breakthrough technology and new work practices have seen an increase in time lost to musculoskeletal complaints and emotional problems. Staff sickness can dramatically impact any business because you lose time, money and it can delay the completion of important tasks. Whilst there is only so much that can be done to prevent members of staff calling in sick, how this is managed can improve the way your business is run.
