How confident are you that your health surveillance keeps your team safe and your business compliant?

For employees exposed to noise, vibration, asbestos, or other hazardous substances, regular surveillance does more than meet legal requirements – it helps you look after your people.

Early detection of work-related ill health keeps employees healthier, reduces long-term absence, and ensures your organisation stays on the right side of UK regulations.

Good ergonomics isn’t just about chairs and desks – it’s about helping people work comfortably, safely, and efficiently.

Every role comes with its own demands, and small adjustments can make a big difference to wellbeing, focus, and long-term health. That’s why ergonomic assessments are tailored to the individual – whether it’s a home workstation, an office desk, a vehicle, or a more complex setup.

Some assessments can even be done remotely, giving practical, personalised advice without disrupting the working day. Others are on-site, where we can see the environment and equipment in action, and provide hands-on recommendations.

The goal? To create workspaces that actually support the people using them, helping them perform at their best while reducing risk of discomfort or injury.

Lighting at work: are you meeting the legal standard?

Lighting isn’t just a facilities detail, it’s a health, safety, and performance issue.

Poor lighting can lead to:
• Eye strain and headaches
• Reduced concentration
• Increased fatigue
• Higher risk of errors and accidents

And under UK law, employers are required to ensure lighting is suitable, sufficient, and appropriate for the task.

In the first of our Insight on Light series, Dr Lara Shemtob breaks down what employers need to know, from legal requirements to common workplace risks like glare and flicker.

With more employees working on screens than ever, now is the time to review whether your workplace setup is truly supporting your team.

From noise and vibration to DSE and safety-critical work, it gives you a complete picture of your workplace environment.

Work-related stress is more than just feeling “busy.” It can impact focus, motivation, performance, and overall wellbeing.

Our latest guide also explores how to spot the signs of stress, take early action, and build a more supportive workplace environment.

💬 This month is a great reminder to ask: are your employees truly supported at work?
