OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT

Overview

Miller Health Management specialises in assessing the occupational health needs of organisations and their employees. The complexity of the assessment is determined by:

		the size and business needs of the organisation;
		whether the organisation currently has any occupational health services; and
		the type of information that is available from the organisation.

Components of the Assessment

The occupational health needs assessment is undertaken in 2 stages:

Stage 1: Data collection and assessment.
Stage 2: Tour of the site(s) and interviews with key staff and a cross-section of employees.

Upon completion of the needs assessment, a management report is provided which:

		identifies the organisation’s health and safety needs and whether these needs are currently being met;
		recommends practical and cost effective solutions which will meet these needs;
		prioritises what action needs to be taken;
		determines the costs of implementing these initiatives;
		assesses net corporate benefit;
		provides benchmarks to measure the organisation’s subsequent performance through periodic reviews.

Benefits of Undertaking an Occupational Health Needs Assessment

An occupational health needs assessment will add value to your organisation by helping you to improve your organisation’s ability to manage occupational health and safety, thereby:

		containing health and safety costs through better management and compliance with legislation; and
		enhancing employee health and productivity.
