About Us
We Built the Occupational Health Provider We Wished Existed
David Barber (OH) Ltd delivers the full range of occupational health services as part of one connected rehabilitation and risk management system. This includes on-site health surveillance, sickness absence management, safety-critical and HGV medicals, fitness-for-work assessments, ergonomics and DSE, risk assessments, and compliance-led support across regulated environments.We also provide workplace drug and alcohol testing, face fit testing, corporate flu and Hepatitis B vaccination programmes, health and wellbeing initiatives, and ongoing occupational health support. Each service is delivered with the same clinical governance, reporting standards, and operational visibility, so outcomes remain consistent across roles, sites, and sectors.The value is not in offering more services. It is in how they work together to reduce risk, limit disruption, and support people to work safely and sustainably.
We Run Occupational Health As An End-to-End Rehabilitation System
David Barber (OH) Ltd does not deliver isolated occupational health services. We run a single, connected rehabilitation system that follows how health issues arise, develop, and resolve at work. It begins with on-site health surveillance in real working environments, moves through clinical assessment and decision-making, and continues through sickness management, rehabilitation, and safe return to work. Every case enters one pathway, is triaged early, assessed in the right setting, and progressed with continuous clinical oversight.
We remove friction so the system keeps moving
An end-to-end system only works if cases do not stall between stages. Our processes are paperless from referral to outcome, removing the admin gaps that usually slow occupational health down. Referrals, consent, appointment booking, reminders, and reporting are handled digitally, with direct integration into HR, ATS, or payroll systems where required. This keeps cases moving through the system without repeated handovers, missed appointments, or manual chasing that breaks momentum.
We apply the same clinical standards across every location
Our rehabilitation system runs on one clinical framework, regardless of where work takes place. Health surveillance, safety-critical medicals, and fitness-for-work assessments are delivered on site where risk or role demands it, supported by standardised templates and sector-specific protocols. Wherever an employee is assessed, the clinical reasoning, documentation, and decision thresholds remain consistent. Built-in quality checks ensure outcomes are reliable before they leave the system.
We give you visibility across the whole rehabilitation pathway
Because every stage sits within one system, you can see how health issues are progressing across your organisation, not just isolated reports. Dashboards and reporting show surveillance schedules, active cases, emerging health trends, safety-critical review points, and absence patterns across sites. This allows risk to be managed earlier and decisions to be made with confidence, rather than reacting once absence or disruption has already taken hold.
We fit into operations, not around them
Our system is designed to run alongside day-to-day operations without disruption. It supports the full occupational rehabilitation journey, from on-site assessment and surveillance through clinical review, absence management, rehabilitation, and return-to-work decisions. Integration is completed quickly and with minimal change to how teams already work, so occupational health becomes part of operational control rather than an external process to manage.

Our Vision: Occupational Health That Prevents Problems
Most occupational health is reactive. Wait for someone to get sick, assess them, write a report, and send them back.
We're building something different: a proactive system that catches issues before they become absence cases, provides early intervention when problems emerge, and gives you the visibility to manage health risks instead of just responding to them.
We offer an integrated end-to-end occupational rehabilitation system that flags high-risk situations immediately. Health surveillance that actually prevents injuries instead of documenting them after the fact. Data analytics that show you patterns before they cost you money.
This is occupational health designed around prevention, not paperwork.
