Occupational health for food production

We support food manufacturers and processors where hygiene, audit standards and high‑volume production all come together. Our services are designed around chilled environments, repetitive tasks, shift work and high workforce turnover. Typical support includes health surveillance for noise, respiratory and skin risks, musculoskeletal assessments, sickness absence case management and vaccination programmes where required. We can deliver assessments on‑site or through our wider healthcare network to minimise disruption to production lines.

Your risks in food production

  • Hygienic, chilled and wet environments with exposure to cold, noise and repetitive movements.
  • High audit and retailer standards, where documentation and consistency matter.
  • Shift work, agency labour and high turnover, which can make it harder to maintain consistent health checks.
    This mix of risks means occupational health has to be practical, scalable and closely aligned with your HACCP and wider safety systems.
    We design occupational health programmes that match your risk assessments, production schedules and audit requirements.
  • How we support food production sites

    Health surveillance

    For noise, dust, chemicals and skin/respiratory risks, delivered via onsite clinics or mobile medical units.

    Musculoskeletal and ergonomics support

    For repetitive tasks and manual handling, including management referrals for long‑term conditions.

    Sickness absence case management

    With clear, evidence‑based reports for HR and line managers

    Vaccination programmes

    Where appropriate, for example flu or other relevant workplace vaccines

    Flexible delivery across lines and sites

    We know food production operates to tight timetables, so health activity must fit around your lines rather than disrupt them.

    • On‑site clinics at key sites and mobile medical units when you need us on location.

    • Access to our wider healthcare network for off‑site appointments where that works better for particular roles or sites.

    • Scheduling around shift patterns to reduce downtime and keep attendance high.
