What we do
We recognise the important benefits of work and how healthy employees contribute to a productive and motivated workforce. We offer a wide range of services to help protect employees from any hazards at work and to support them to continue or return to work after illness or injury.
We provide confidential and impartial advice to employers to help manage health at work. The service assists employers in reducing sickness absence and in meeting legal obligations under Health and Safety, Employment and Disability legislation.
