Building best health practice within the construction industry

The fast-changing UK construction industry employs an estimated 2 million people, ranging from builders working outside in all weathers to professionals working at a desk.

As one of the largest and longest established providers of occupational health services in the UK, Abermed has the breadth of expertise to care for your employees and help you to ensure their wellbeing at work. Our flexible approach allows us to tailor our services to the needs of our clients.

Our 25 years of experience has given us a comprehensive understanding of the medical and health issues unique to the construction sector.

Abermed’s comprehensive occupational health service covers the complete range of work‐related health issues, from prevention and control measures to maintain health in the workplace through to recommendations on treatment and legal issues.

Among our areas of expertise is health surveillance, the regular monitoring of employees’ health to identify early signs of work-related damage by exposure to known hazards – such as vibration, noise, lead and asbestos, and then advising on preventative measures in place to avoid any long term or permanent harm.

Screening tests to assess hearing, lung function, skin problems and blood or urine tests can be conducted by our specially trained nurses and screening technicians.

As well as often being a legal requirement, health surveillance can help to avoid potentially debilitating long-term conditions and illnesses.

Our team of experienced occupational health professionals can also help with:

• Managing sickness absence and phased return to work
• Alleviation and management of stress
• Advising companies on Health and Safety policies
• Substance abuse programmes

   

For short term, long term, emergency or planned industrial and occupational medicine, there is only one name – Abermed.
