Make the most of occupational health management

Life Health Solutions pre-emptively identifies health risks and implements an integrated system of healthcare solutions.

The goal is to help businesses take holistic care of their employees while ensuring legal compliance. 

Life Health Solutions’ management approach to occupational health risks is based on a thorough consultative process that allows for the development of an effective healthcare solution for each unique business context. 

Life Health Solutions manages a diverse range of workplace activities and programmes, assisting organisations in adhering to occupational health legislation and applicable regulations to maintain legal compliance. These can include periodic health risk assessments, medical surveillance, fitness for work assessments, incapacity management, employee well-being programmes, and additional support necessary to ensure a safe working environment.

A strategic partner in health risk management

At Life Health Solutions, occupational health risk management encompasses an understanding of various workplace hazards, including physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and psychosocial risks. Uncovering and managing these potential health risks is essential for protecting employees and maintaining business compliance.

Workplace-related injuries and diseases affect an organisation’s profit through the cost of lost productivity caused by various factors, such as sick leave, lost skills, retraining, recruitment, medical insurance, and medical treatment.

In South Africa, all employers have a legal obligation to provide and maintain a working environment that is safe: free from danger and without risk to employees’ health and safety. The comprehensive occupational health services from Life Health Solutions make this compliance achievable.

With over three decades of experience, Life Health Solutions can identify and advise on mitigating workplace health risks. The consequences of poor employee health extend beyond increased insurance premiums, as unmanaged health risks can ultimately impact employee engagement, productivity, and overall performance.

Fortunately, employers have recognised their influential role in reducing unsafe practices and unhealthy behaviours that can lead to costly consequences. Healthy employees are crucial not only for an organisation’s ability to thrive, but also for its very survival. An individual’s mental and physical health fundamentally impacts workplace culture, resources, and productivity.
