A risk assessment should help identify if this is the case > Getting health surveillance right can lead to a healthier workforce by reducing sick days and can also benefit businesses by ensuring that time and money is not wasted on unnecessary checks. > I would be very pleased if you could help us spread the word through your own internal, stakeholder or partner channels, also from w/c 18th.
