An Occupational Health Assessment (OHA) is an invaluable tool for employees who are experiencing health-related issues affecting their work or well-being. Conducted by qualified occupational health professionals, the assessment provides confidential, impartial advice to both employees and employers. Whether you are facing physical or mental health challenges, an OHA can guide you and your employer toward supportive, effective solutions.
You might consider requesting an OHA if you experience:
Concerns about workplace ergonomics or safety
Check your employee handbook or intranet for policies and procedures regarding Occupational Health Assessments. Every organization may have different guidelines, so it’s essential to know what is applicable in your case.
Discuss your concerns openly with your line manager. Be prepared to explain how your health is affecting your work and why you believe an OHA would be beneficial.
Write a formal request to your HR department or designated individual responsible for occupational health services. Ensure that you keep a copy of any correspondences.
