Occupational Health
About Occupational Health (OH)
OH aims to complement the University's academic reputation by providing a support service that promotes and preserves both the physical and mental well-being of all staff.
Working alongside our colleagues in the Safety Office we assist in ensuring that the work environment is safe and that a person's health is not adversely affected by their work activities. This is reflected in our mission statement which is 'to prevent ill health and promote health amongst University staff'.
The occupational health team comprises of a small team of occupational health specialist doctors and nurses and administrative personnel who:
- devise preventative strategies for identifying and controlling hazards to health arising from work
- assist in fulfilling statutory and regulatory requirements to ensure that the health of staff and others is not adversely affected by their work
- provide a pre-employment health assessment process
- provide pro-active management of sickness absence
- ensure that work health issues are appropriately managed
- promote health and well-being at work.
