Since 1st October 1998, the European Union Working Time Regulations (93/104/EC) have been in force in the UK. The Work Time (Amendment) Regulations (2003) apply to offshore workers. It is one of the most comprehensive pieces of employment legislation ever to deal with working time and the provision of holidays. It is already proving a nightmare for employers, many of whom are uncertain of how it will affect them.

 can solve one particular problem for you now. The Regulations state that night workers have the right to a free health assessment at the beginning of their employment and at regular intervals thereafter. Failure to meet these requirements could result in prosecution.
We offer a low cost health assessment programme designed for night workers:
Step 1: A health assessment questionnaire audited by experienced occupational health practitioners
Step 2: An independent medical examination for those employees with medical conditions giving cause for concern
