When Is a Workplace Health Check Needed?

Workplace health checks are needed when employers aim to ensure the optimal health of their employees and mitigate occupational risks. This involves assessing factors such as ergonomics, exposure to hazardous substances, and the physical demands of specific job roles.

Changes in industry standards, such as updates to the Health and Safety at Work Act, or the introduction of new work processes like automation or chemical usage, may trigger the need for these checks. Similarly, after an increase in employee health complaints about issues like repetitive strain injuries or respiratory problems, it might be necessary to conduct a review.

These checks can include using equipment like spirometers for lung capacity assessments or audiometers for hearing tests. Monitoring workforce health is an ongoing process that benefits both employees and the organisation by reducing absenteeism and enhancing productivity.

Regular health checks also help in compliance with regulatory requirements, ensuring a safer workplace environment.
