Occupational Health
Occupational Health services are not only about health and safety at work. They embrace the social, mental and physical well-being of employees at work and leisure. It is also a strong sign of commitment by the employer to the employees indicating their concern for the health and well-being of their work force and their working conditions.
Health Surveillance
Health Surveillance can sometimes be a daunting prospect for employers to consider, it can often leave more questions than answers without appropriate guidance.
Albacare's attitude to Health surveillance is based around simplicity and communication, whether it is Health Surveillance for Industrial Audiometry (Hearing Tests) or Spirometry (Lung function testing) or for many of the other elements of routine screening we can help.
We work with you to ensure that the Health Surveillance meets your objectives whilst achieving regulatory compliance.
A well structured approach to Health Surveillance can also help in achieving ISO and BS certification, when implemented with an effective Health and Safety Management System, and ask yourself; how can you be effective without employing a specialist? That's what you've got us for, Albacare, Taking Care of Business for over 20 years.

Buying a defibrillator is one of the best things that any organisation can do.
When someone has a cardiac arrest there is an average of 3-5% chance of survival (across the whole of Europe about 6% in the UK).
There are 2 things That Can Make a Difference:
It could be as much as 74% (given the casualty having been in Cardiac Arrest for 3 minutes. You could be looking at a higher chance of survival if the casualty is defibrillated earlier)
The estimation is that the chances of surviving can drop by as much as 10-14% per minute.
The difference between surviving and not is Early CPR & Early Defibrillation followed by Early Hospital Care.
