FAQs about The Work Doctor in Durham
How does an occupational health assessment in Durham help with legal compliance?
An occupational health assessment in Durham provides objective medical evidence to help you meet your duty of care under UK law. By identifying “reasonable adjustments” for employees with health conditions, our clinicians ensure you are fulfilling your obligations under the Equality Act. This proactive approach helps local businesses avoid costly tribunals and ensures that all workplace modifications are based on sound medical advice.
Can you provide on-site health surveillance for manufacturing firms in County Durham?
Yes, we offer flexible on-site health surveillance in County Durham, visiting industrial estates like Aycliffe Business Park and Foxcover. Our mobile clinical units allow us to perform essential tests—such as hearing conservation, lung function, and skin checks—directly at your premises. This eliminates the need for staff to travel, significantly reducing downtime and ensuring your business remains compliant with COSHH and other health and safety regulations.
What are the benefits of using a Durham-based occupational health provider?
By choosing a Durham-based occupational health provider, you benefit from clinicians who understand the regional landscape and can offer rapid appointment turnaround times.
