Why is Occupational Health needed?

Understanding how health affects work is key to running a successful business. We’re here to help you handle any health-related issues that come up.

All bases covered

What services do we offer?

Audiometry

Occupational audiometry is a hearing test used at work to find early signs of hearing damage caused by loud noise. If any problems are found, steps can be taken to fix the issue at work or refer the person to a doctor if needed.

Spirometry

After completing a short respiratory questionnaire, employees take a lung function test using a spirometer. Results are discussed with the employee, and a summary is shared with the employer. If any issues are found, a referral will be made to the company doctor or the employee’s GP.

Vision Screening

In the workplace, vision screening helps spot employees with vision problems that may need further attention. It’s a quick way to identify people who should have a full eye exam. Using the Keystone VS-II, we run 14 tests covering 9 different aspects of vision—not just how clearly you can see.

FACE FIT TESTING

Face Fit Testing from ROHS is a service that checks whether a worker’s mask fits properly. If a mask doesn’t seal to the face correctly, harmful dust or chemicals can get through. ROHS tests each person wearing a mask to make sure it fits well and works as it should. This helps keep people safe and makes sure companies follow health and safety laws. The testing can be done at their centre or at your workplace.

Hand Arm Vibration

Using vibrating tools regularly can damage the hands and arms, leading to a condition called Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS). Around 1 in 10 people who use these tools often may develop symptoms.

By law (The Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005), employers must assess the risk, take steps to remove or reduce it as much as possible, and make sure employees are properly informed and trained on how to stay safe.

Absence Management & Advice

Getting staff back to work quickly and safely is easier with early support. After six weeks off, it becomes harder for an employee to return at all.

Our experienced team works closely with you, taking your business needs and culture into account, to help manage even the most complex cases involving fitness for work.

With sickness and absence costing UK businesses over £11.6 billion a year (CBI), more companies are now taking steps to reduce these costs.

Medical Assessments

ROHS offers a wide range of health checks, carried out by our Occupational Health Doctor or Nurse Advisor.

We provide medical assessments for:

  • New employees

  • Night shift workers

  • Forklift truck drivers

  • Safety-critical roles

  • Food industry workers

  • General lifestyle and wellbeing check

First Aid Courses

This course prepares staff to act as First Aiders and give basic first aid in workplace emergencies.

By the end of the course, participants will know how to help someone who is injured or seriously ill at work until professional medical help arrives.

Our training follows the First Aid at Work Regulations 1981 (Approved Code of Practice 2009). Although the course is non-regulated, it meets all HSE requirements for trainer qualifications, course content, teaching standards, and certification.
