Health & Wellbeing Policy

Physical ill-health, disability and mental health can all influence the ability of a worker to work safely and effectively and, because we recognise this, Menfor Group gives equal weight and credence to all health issues.

We know that the health of our workforce is integral to what we do, and the Menfor Group has a number of policies in place to ensure the health of our employees isn’t impacted in a negative way by their work activities. Our health and wellbeing approach is as follows:

• Ensure compliance with in-house Health and Safety Policy.
• Conduct risk assessments with consideration given to health hazards and suitable control methods.
• Provide training and education on a variety of health-related issues, including alcohol, drug use, manual handling and hygiene.
• Pre-employment health questionnaire, evaluating the fitness of applicants in relation to the risks and hazards of the job, environment or job-related activities.
• Continued health surveillance during the term of employment.
• Providing and cultivating awareness around Occupational Health issues during inductions.
• Ensuring employees know of their responsibility for ensuring they attend work in a fit and healthy state, enabling them to meet their duties.
• Provide details of external advice sources and guidance around Occupational Health issues.
• Complying with specific health and safety guidelines provided by clients in the construction, highway and rail sectors.
