There are several reasons an employee may be referred to Occupational Health. For example:

  • where the referring manager has concerns about the impact of the employee’s health on their work or concerns about the impact of work on their health, and wishes to seek advice
  • the employee has been off work sick for four weeks or more. This is normally considered long-term sickness absence and a referral of the employee to Occupational Health is advisable
  • the employee is due to return to work soon after a period of sickness absence

In all such cases Occupational Health advice can help identify specific areas of support or adjustments an employee may require to allow them to perform their role. Sometimes restrictions on the type of activity they should be performing may be identified.
