Occupational health for the automotive sector

We support OEMs, tier suppliers and dealership networks with a mix of production, workshop, sales and driving roles. Risks span noise, solvents, manual handling and safety‑critical driving or workshop tasks, all of which need a proportionate, role‑specific occupational health approach. Our typical approach includes health surveillance for noise and chemical exposures, driver and safety‑critical medicals, HAVS assessments, and case management for long‑term health or attendance issues. We can standardise protocols across sites, giving consistency for managers and employees wherever they are based.

Automotive risks we help you manage

Automotive operations bring together several risk areas under one roof:

  • High noise and vibration levels in production and workshop environments.

  • Exposure to solvents, oils and other substances that can affect respiratory or skin health.

  • Manual handling, awkward postures and repetitive tasks in workshop and plant roles.

  • Safety‑critical driving, test‑driving and vehicle movement on sites and public roads.

We help you turn these risks into clear occupational health requirements for different roles, so managers can see who needs which assessments and how often.

We tailor our services around your risk assessments, workforce profile and operational model (plants, workshops, showrooms and fleets).

Occupational health services for automotive

Health surveillance for noise and chemicals

Audiometry, HAVS, respiratory and skin surveillance, and vision screening aligned to your exposures and legal duties.

Driver and safety‑critical medicals

Fitness assessments for drivers, test‑drivers and other safety‑critical roles, following HSE/DVLA guidance where relevant and tailored to your tasks.

Management referrals and case management

Clinically led reports to support decisions about fitness for work, adjustments, return to work and attendance for musculoskeletal and mental health cases.

Standardised protocols across sites

Shared templates for surveillance, medicals and referral processes, so multi‑site operations can apply consistent standards and documentation.

Flexible delivery for plants, workshops and dealerships

Automotive businesses often combine large plants with smaller workshops and geographically spread dealerships.

We deliver occupational health through:

  • On‑site clinics at key locations and mobile medical units for high‑volume programmes.

  • Appointments at partner clinics where on‑site activity is less practical.

  • Scheduling that works around production runs, workshop bookings and showroom opening hours.
