2. Fitness for Work and Return to Work Assessments
Employees may face difficulties getting tasks assigned or re-integrating back to the team after a long leave of absence due to sickness or injuries. In line with Ministry of Manpower (MOM)'s Return to Work (RTW) Programme, our Fitness for Work/Return to Work Assessment can help determine the suitability of an employee for work and provide advice on the modifications to be made to the work duties to accommodate the injured employee's functional capacity. This will help the employees to re-join the team as soon as possible, providing a peace of mind for both you and your employee.
3. Vaccination Programmes
Each occupation has its risks. Establishing a comprehensive occupational vaccination programme for employees keeps vaccine-preventable diseases at bay. Our occupational medicine doctors can advise you on the following:
- Framework / policy on vaccination for infectious diseases prevention
- Assessment of necessary vaccination for employees working in high-risk areas
- Providing up-to-date information about diseases and vaccines
We also offer a wide range of vaccination services for your employees, including but not limited to:
- Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis (DTaP/Tdap)
- Hepatitis A & B
- Influenza
- Mumps, Measles, Rubella (MMR)
- Varicella (Chickenpox)
Workers from the following occupations should consider vaccination:
- Healthcare workers involved with patient care and have direct contact with patients in the course of carrying out their work
- Laboratory staff who handle pathogens
- Employees of childcare centres, day care centres and long-term care facilities
- Armed forces personnel, immigration officers, police and prison officers
- Veterinary workers and animal handlers
4. Workplace Safety and Occupational Health Advisory & Training
A healthy and safe workplace should have sound and effective policies and programmes in place. We can partner with your workplace safety officer or equivalent to provide targeted advice on the following, including but not limited to:
- Development of workplace safety and occupational health policies and programmes
- Compliance with legislation issues for workplace safety and health
- Monitoring and surveillance of workplace hazards
- Workplace assessment for hazards / risks
Apart from advisory efforts, our occupational medicine doctors also conduct training in occupational health protection of your workforce against specific hazards.
5. Workplace Safety and Occupational Health Talks & Workshops
Your employees' awareness about health and safety at the workplace plays an important role in ensuring a healthy and safe workplace. We conduct talks and workshops related to workplace safety and occupational health for employees. This includes topics like managing stress at work, advice on general occupational health, and tips on minimising one's risk of exposure to work hazards.
We can also tailor the topics and approaches of the talks and workshops, depending on your organisation's needs and employee's demographics.
