Occupational Health & Risk Management

Assist in identifying and analysing specific health hazards and providing recommendations to manage these risks and may entail:
- Independently design and support with implementation of project medical services.
- Review medical services providers and capacity to provide quality and cost effective services to the project. This can include logistical, contractual and referral recommendations.
- Provide advice on duty of care for travellers and expatriate employees.
- Advice on medical emergency response plans, systems and evacuations.

As SHAPE is not in the business of providing site based medical services, they have responded to numerous requests from clients to assess the structure, functionality and effectiveness of site based medical services. We have developed a tool to support these assessments and as an outcome develop health improvement plans. The assessment process is especially useful for:
- For the client who self-performs their medical services and does not have the ability to internally review or assure the quality and cost effectiveness of the project medical service.
- For the client who outsources their medical services it may not be possible to effective and independently review and assure the quality and cost effectiveness of the medical service providers.

As core staff have occupational health qualifications and with the presence of excellent occupational hygiene partners SHAPE has the ability to support a variety of occupational health and occupational hygiene consultancy requests, including:
- Occupational hygiene risk assessments- both from a qualitative and quantitative perspective. Through partners such as Kobus Dekker Occupational Hygiene Consultancy there is the ability to deliver a host of hygiene risk management, measurement as well as training and capacity building.
- Development of occupational health management systems to support effective fitness to work and risk based medical surveillance programmes.
- Supporting effective well-being programmes linked to occupational or work-place health needs including non-communicable disease management, fatigue and mental health considerations.
