Fitness to Work, Health Surveillance and Absence Management. A core aspect of an occupational health service is to provide guidance to both employees and employers on fitness to work. We offer this in a wide variety of methods. We may have contact with you following completion of a new starter health questionnaire; we may offer you essential occupational immunisations; you following a referral from your line manager following a period of absence; or we may see you as part of an ongoing health surveillance programme under COSHH regulation or Health and Safety Law. Be assured your occupational health record will remain confidential and at all times we will seek your consent to respond to requests for information from line managers. However, we are here to encourage your return to work and find sensible solutions which may make this possible.
