How does occupational medicine promote worker health and prevent workplace illness and injuries?

Occupational medicine focuses on identifying and reducing health risks in the workplace to prevent illness and injuries.

We also assist organisations in developing and managing workplace health and safety programmes and guide the safe return-to-work process for workers recovering from injury or illness.
