Occupational Health Editing and Proofreading Services

Occupational health writes for a reader with divided loyalties built into the job. A fitness-for-work report goes to an employer who is not the patient, about a patient who did not choose the assessment, and it has to be useful to the employer without disclosing clinical information they are not entitled to. Getting that line right is almost entirely a matter of wording, and it is where most complaints in the field originate.

We edit what occupational health services produce — fitness-for-work and pre-placement assessment reports, return-to-work plans and graduated schedules, functional capacity and accommodation recommendations, health surveillance programme documentation for noise, respirable hazards, and vibration, workplace exposure and risk assessments, drug and alcohol testing policies, absence management and case conference records, immunisation and infection control programmes for workers, ergonomic assessment reports, and management referral letters. Our editors keep reports on the right side of the disclosure line: function and restriction to the employer, diagnosis and detail to the clinical record.

Return-to-work plans repay careful structure more than anything else in the field. A plan that says "light duties" fails immediately, because nobody at the workplace can agree what that means. We write plans as specific capacities and durations — hours per day, weights, postures, tasks explicitly excluded, and the date each step increases — so the supervisor implementing it can do so without interpreting, and the worker knows exactly what has been agreed.

Everything you send is treated confidentially, and we understand the sensitivity of documents that pass between clinician, worker, and employer. Whether you are an occupational health provider standardising report templates, an employer's health team rewriting a surveillance programme, or a physician preparing a complex fitness report, we can make the writing precise, fair, and defensible.
