Why Occupational Health Policies ?
Having Occupational Health policies in place is a pro-active approach that establishes systems and policies to manage Occupational Health in the workplace.
The benefits to HR and management of having Occupational Health policies in place are:
- Policies enable consistent, clear, effective actions to resolve health issues as they arise in the workplace.
- Avoid fire-fighting, inconsistencies, conflict and confusion.
MedWise can work with you to produce an integrated, practical and effective suite of policy documents that form the foundation of your Occupational Health management system. These policies would be integrated with, and supportive of your existing Health and Safety Policies.

At the operating level, we can review your operating procedures to ensure that effective health and safety practices are in place at the work instruction level.
