Data for Workforce
Health Monitoring
Through our Health Screenings, we are able gather data that measures key health statistics of the workforce. This valuable information enables the monitoring of workforce health trends, providing immediate feedback and facilitating proactive measures to address emerging health concerns.
Increased Retention

Our Health Screenings significantly contribute to the retention of project staff
by proactively addressing health concerns. Early detection and intervention minimise the loss of working hours due to illness, resulting in improved productivity and reduced absenteeism.
Cost Savings and Efficiency
By offering on-site Health Screenings, we eliminate the need for employees to take time off or visit GP surgeries for check-ups. This not only reduces sick days but also saves valuable time and expenses associated with external healthcare visits.
Carbon Emissions Benefits

Our Impact
In June 2022, we conducted health screening sessions at Skanska’s M42 safety stand-down day using our Mobile Health Screening Trailer. The assessments included BMI measurements, blood pressure checks, cholesterol screenings, and overall health questionnaires. A total of 120 operatives from across the site utilised our services.
During these screenings, two operatives were identified with high blood pressure. In one case, it was revealed that the operative had been incorrectly administering blood pressure medication. We provided the necessary guidance to address this issue promptly. Additionally, another operative from one of our labour partners was identified with abnormally high blood pressure during the screening. The individual was immediately sent to the hospital and remained under observation for several days. The assessment revealed a high risk of a heart attack, highlighting the potential severity of the situation. Such incidents underscore the importance of providing easy access to health monitoring, which would typically require time off for a GP appointment.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Most importantly the Hercules nurse found a colleague with blood pressure of 200 and we took him to straight to hospital where they spent 2 days to get their blood pressure under control, before returning to work 7 days late. The individual had no idea of their high blood pressure until the day of the screening.””
