Many larger employers have such a team (this might be in-house or outsourced). However, not all employers provide, or have access to an occupational health team.
It is worth checking whether there is one accessible through your place of work.
Occupational health teams provide help and information that could help you return to work.
This includes providing advice about:
- Safe working practices
- Ergonomics (studying how they work and how they could work better)
- The management of sickness absence
- The need for workplace health assessments
- Health promotion and health education
