In OH consultations, we regularly see men who've stopped taking prescribed medication. Blood pressure tablets. Antidepressants. Pain management.
Through a lack of any regular health contact
That's the gap OH can fill.

Men's Health Week 2026 starts today.
1 in 5 men dies before 65. Men are less likely to use pharmacies, fill prescriptions or follow up on health advice.
For a lot of men in manual jobs, an OH appointment is their only regular health contact.
#MensHealthWeek2026
Sick pay, cover staff, lost output. Workplace ill-health is rarely one big bill β it's a hundred small ones. Occupational health catches problems before they become absence. #OccupationalHealth
Quick question: do you know what occupational health actually covers?
It's not just pre-employment medicals.
Health surveillance. Management referrals. Fitness for work. Drug & alcohol testing. Mental health support. Ergonomics.

Your fire extinguisher gets checked every year.
When did you last check that your first aiders are still trained? π
We can fix that. rohs.co.uk/first-aid-course-β¦#FirstAid
A First Aid at Work certificate is valid for 3 years. After that, HSE treats it the same as having no trained first aider on site at all.
Plenty of employers find out the day they need it. Check yours this week.
#FirstAid#HSE#WorkplaceSafety
Reminder: Occupational Health doesn't work for HR. We work for both β the employer needs honest advice, the worker needs a clinician they can trust. The day OH becomes a rubber stamp is the day it stops being useful to either.
