Hi Christine
I see that you have had some good replies already but if you are new to OH it might be helpful to breakdown your OH strategy into 3 areas, the MUSTS, the SHOULDS and the NICE TO HAVES. I don't know what industry you are in but as others have said it may be that there are some statutory requirements that would be more of a priority than health promotion. I attach a couple of documents that emphasise this, one is a short article that I wrote for the CIPD a few years ago so it's aimed at HR people but hopefully it explains what I mean, the other is aimed at the construction industry.
Regards
Karen

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Health Promotion Initiatives
Currently, I am putting together OH Strategy for the Autumn. I am new to OH and so wish to run initiatives that are easy to begin with to gain my confidence.
We have started to offer spinning classes in the onsite gym. I have linked in with the nutritionist in the canteen. There is a mothers room onsite that is used for storage. I have performed a lot of pregnancy risk assessments and so wish to promote breastfeeding etc. I am planning on running two days in September for BP Checks, Weight and BMI.
Any suggestions would be welcome.....
