New Employee Health Questionnaire Assessment  

​

Kernow Occupational Health can undertake an initial health questionnaire-based screening assessment and advise on the individual’s fitness for the intended role. Should health conditions or issues be declared, where appropriate and necessary a more in-depth assessment will be offered and recommendations made regarding whether any restrictions or reasonable adjustments should be considered.

​

Existing Employee Assessments

​

Employees may develop a health condition after their employment commenced which might have an impact on their ability to undertake their role. Their functional capacity may have altered, there may be a legal duty that comes into play for them to be exempt from specific roles, or the Equality Act 2010 may now apply and you have a legal responsibility to ensure this is taken into account. Some health conditions which develop may be reportable by law under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR).

Advice and support on these matters, and answers to any queries regarding what services you require or wish to access is available.
