Fit2Work service

Every business is required to make assessment of the risks which their employees may be exposed to whilst at work.

An accurate risk assessment should consider the nature of the job, the fitness of the employee to carry out that work and identification of any limitations.

For everyone involved in the process, there are common issues: Is the person able to perform the job adequately? Do they pose health and safety risks? How great is the risk of future long-term sick leave or a claim being made post-employment?

The cost of sickness absence and lost time can be a substantial drain on any organisation, particularly in the current economic climate. Private sector companies average eight lost days per employee, per year, whilst public sector figures show more serious rates of absence. Even for organisations paying minimal sick pay, the financial implications can be very significant on the bottom line.

• 299,000 reportable injuries in 2007 (figures from the Health and Safety Executive’s Reporting of Injuries, Disasters and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995)
• £695 per person, per year is the average cost of employee absence to the employer (figures from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD))
• £12,083 is the average cost of recruitment for an employee (CIPD)

Through our Fit2Work Service we offer a comprehensive health screen to evaluate an employee’s capacity to perform a given role, without risk to their own, or other’s health and safety. We will assist you by significantly reducing staff absence due to work related illnesses and/or injury, loss-time associated costs and avoidance of a possible employer’s liability claim in the future.

Our Fit2Work Service includes:

• Pre-employment services: provides a risk management tool to ensure job applicants are physically matched to the job role
• Health Screening services: designed to identify those who are more susceptible to conditions, hopefully long before they have a chance to manifest
• Exit services: designed to demonstrate exact capacity upon leaving to mitigate any future claim
