What to look for in a good occupational health provider?
When looking for a good occupational health provider, you should consider the following factors:
The Size of the Provider
If you have a large company, it may be difficult to find an occupational health provider with enough experience in dealing with large companies. Smaller companies will have a wider range of providers to choose from.
Years of Experience
A highly experienced occupational health provider will be able to offer more specialised services than a provider who is just starting out. They will also have more connections and resources available to them, which could come in handy if your company has specific needs that need special attention.
Qualified People
You need to ensure that the provider you choose has expertise in occupational health and safety with experience in occupational illnesses and injuries.
Assist Group's chief medical officer, Dr Peter Aldridge, has over 25 years experience in the field of Industrial Medicine and is a WorkCover-accredited Medical Practitioner for Hazardous Substances.
