Sickness Absence & Absence Management

Sickness absence continues to be a major challenge for UK businesses — with an estimated 36.8 million working days lost in 2021/22 due to work-related ill health and non-fatal injuries. The median rate of sickness per employee has also risen, highlighting the growing impact absenteeism has on productivity and profitability.

At Essential Medicals, we understand how costly unmanaged absence can be. Our specialist absence management services are designed to help organisations reduce absence rates, support employee wellbeing, and maintain business performance.When an employee has been off work for more than six weeks, the likelihood of returning to work decreases significantly. That’s why early intervention and structured management referrals are key to improving outcomes and keeping your team healthy and work-ready.

Our dedicated Occupational Health Advisors work closely with managers and HR teams to tailor solutions that fit your business needs. We help streamline absence management processes, ensure compliance with workplace health standards, and promote a positive, productive workforce.

Our Services include:

Management Referral Assessments
Early Intervention & Telephone Consultations
Medical & Fitness-for-Work Assessments
Policy Review & Development
Clear Management Reports & Rehabilitation Support
Keep your workforce healthy, supported, and work-ready

The Results:

Cost savings through reduced absences

Lung Function Testing for Asbestos Workers

What Is Lung Function Testing?

Lung function testing measures how efficiently a person’s lungs move air in and out. It’s a simple, non-invasive test that can detect early changes caused by asbestos exposure — often before symptoms appear. Early detection allows for timely medical review, intervention, and long-term monitoring.
When it comes to working with or around asbestos, regular health surveillance is essential — not just for compliance, but to protect long-term employee health. One of the most effective tools for early detection of asbestos-related health risks is Lung Function Testing (Spirometry).

At Essential Medicals, we provide professional, HSE-compliant lung function testing as part of our comprehensive asbestos medicals. Our experienced Occupational Health team helps businesses meet legal requirements, identify early signs of respiratory issues, and keep their workforce safe and compliant.

Our Testing Process Includes:

Pre-test health questionnaire and medical review
Spirometry testing using calibrated equipment
Repeat measurements for accuracy
Clear interpretation and results report from qualified clinicians
Recommendations or follow-up where required

Why it Matters?

Prolonged exposure to asbestos can lead to conditions such as asbestosis, pleural thickening, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Regular lung function testing helps identify risks early, supporting both employee wellbeing and legal compliance under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and COSHH Regulations.

The Benefits of Testing with Essential Medicals:

Early detection of respiratory health issues
Full compliance with HSE and COSHH requirements
Safer, healthier workplaces for asbestos-exposed employees
Reliable data to support ongoing occupational health monitoring
At Essential Medicals, our qualified nurses, technicians, and HSE-appointed doctors provide accurate, confidential, and responsive testing — available both on-site and at our clinics. Whether you require a one-off assessment or a regular surveillance programme, we’re here to help keep your team healthy, compliant, and protected.
