Health surveillance and fitness for work
Health Surveillance is a programme of regular assessments which monitor the health of employees who may be exposed to specific health risks in the workplace.
Practical, Affordable Support for SMEs
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the UK economy, they employ large proportions of the workforce and drive local growth, yet they face uniquely acute risks when employee health and wellbeing are not prioritised. Tetra Tech Occupational Health offers pragmatic, scalable services designed specifically for small and medium organisations, providing practical clinical support, straightforward advice for managers, and affordable preventative programmes that protect people, preserve productivity, and strengthen business continuity.
Why Occupational Health matters for SMEs
Without specialist input, SMEs often rely on overstretched GPs or informal processes, creating delays, inconsistent decisions and avoidable risks. Poorly managed absence, presenteeism and work related stress can lead to higher costs, lower productivity and greater staff turnover. Occupational health provides the clinical guidance and preventative support needed to protect workforce wellbeing, maintain continuity and meet legal duties.
