On Site Assessments

OPA Health workplace on-site assessments consist of an enhanced look at the working environment.

This on-site assessment is detailed and takes around 2 hours to complete. It consists of taking a medical history with direct observation of the employee in the workplace performing their role. The assessment also considers environmental factors and recommends adjustment, where indicated, to reduce risks to the employee and ensure the employer is meeting HSE standards. A full report following the assessment may recommend adjustments (such as specific ergonomic equipment for the individual).

On site assessments are recommended when a more in-depth evaluation of capabilities is required, where there may be environmental factors affecting the employees’ health, or a health issue remains following attempts to rectify.

Management can refer directly for this assessment or it may be recommended after a fitness for work/ sickness absence consultation.
