Injury Prevention
Quality Medical Care For Your Workplace
Phone-an-advisor & VIP appointments
Our working landscape has changed and so has the way that we access healthcare systems. As we move into uncharted territory and as employers do their best to be proactive in the way that they are addressing COVID-19 within their workforce, it’s important to remember to also remain vigilant in this way employers can keep workforces healthy.
Despite the pandemic risk facing businesses, every day employees are still suffering from preventable workplace injuries. Current research still suggests that early intervention treatment is the single most effective way to minimise an acute injury. It is paramount to ensure that these injuries, aches, and niggles continue to be mitigated in a timely manner.
To support you, we have created a Phone-An-Advisor Consultancy Service contact us to know more.
Onsite Physiotherapy
Traditionally, small niggles and aches that are left to linger and not treated in their earliest onset can result in expensive claims, lost time and a decrease in productivity. While these injuries have significant financial impact on an organisation, they also negatively affect the injured employee.
Occupational Health Solutions' Onsite Occupational Physiotherapy service is key to managing the musculoskeletal health of your workforce. We offer tailored solutions to effectively reduce the cost and prevalence of injuries in your workplace.
Occupational Health Solutions', model demonstrates that taking a proactive approach and encouraging early reporting, functional movement tests, and early intervention injury management ensures that low grade sprains and strains, are dealt with well before they develop into a costly burden to employers.
Offsite VIP Physiotherapy
Occupational Health Solutions is supported by a national network of fully trained and experienced physiotherapy clinics, which allows us to support your organisation, identify injuries in their earliest onset and activate a rapid response action plan to prevent them from becoming long, drawn out claims.
Our VIP Physiotherapy Service offers you the peace of mind that all musculoskeletal workplace injuries can be managed, treated and outcomes clarified in a consistent, all in one solution.
Injury Management Consulting
Although we focus on preventing and minimising injuries when they do occur, work cover claims happen.
As specialists in injury identification, treatment and management we are able to marry our extensive clinical and rehabilitation experience to provide an injury management consulting service. Utilising our best practice knowledge and technical understanding of occupational injuries, our professional consultants are able to design and implement robust early claim and rehabilitation management strategies to ensure you and your employee benefit from our experience and knowledge.
Fitness for Work – Strength, Flexibility and Conditioning Programs
Musculoskeletal injuries account for over 50% of all worker compensation claims and affect a large portion of our working population. Musculoskeletal injuries affect everyone from clerical staff to labourers and often result in lost workdays and workers compensation claims.
In aiming to minimise these problems, Occupational Health Solutions' strength, flexibility and conditioning programs provide employees with a proactive tool to reduce the risk and likelihood of an injury occurring. Occupational Health Solutions' functional movement tests and programs are designed to address three key pillars: strength, balance and stability.
Health and Wellbeing
Investing in an employee’s health makes good sense not only from a wellbeing perspective but also from a business perspective.
The greatest asset to your company is your people, so improving their health and wellbeing will ultimately have a positive effect on their productivity and their accountability while they are at work.
Occupational Health Solutions’ trained health and wellness professionals can tailor a workplace wellness program and incorporate physio solutions to meet specific company needs or areas of concern so that employees are getting the most out of the health and wellness program.
We custom-build corporate health programs to meet our partners unique needs based on budget, culture values, your employees’ health issues and your end goals. We offer a strategic mix of integrated health and wellness services, which combine to educate, support and inspire your employees to better health.
Job Task Analysis
Most organisations have documented position descriptions, including KPI’s relating to employee’s performance and their code of conduct. Inherent requirements of jobs are not the same as job description.
Sometimes employers and employees alike do not fully comprehend the key demands of a job, including the physical, psychological, cognitive, behavioural and environmental components of that job. As such, certain situations like recruiting the right candidate or planning the safe return to work of an injured employee can become a daunting task if the inherent requirements of a person’s role are not clearly outlined.
Ergonomic Assessments & Training
Poor ergonomic work practices or poorly designed workstations can play a significant role in the development of many preventable musculoskeletal disorders including neck and back pain, shoulder and arm pain, headaches and repetitive injury strains.
Sitting for long periods each day has been shown to have catastrophic effects on health and wellbeing, putting workers at increased risk of diabetes, heart conditions, obesity, stroke, as well as postural muscle aches and pains.
