What is a Mobile Occupational Health Unit?
Our Mobile Occupational Health Unit is a fully equipped, purpose-built clinical facility that allows us to deliver health surveillance, fit to work medicals and safety-critical assessments directly at your workplace.
Instead of sending employees off-site, we bring occupational health services to you - whether you’re based in Kent, London, Essex or across the wider UK.
The unit is designed to provide a consistent, controlled testing environment, including:
A built-in audio booth for compliant hearing tests
A designated drug and alcohol testing toilet facility
Private consultation and examination space
Equipment for a range of occupational health assessments
This means high-quality clinical standards can be maintained regardless of your site setup.
The business case
For many organisations, arranging occupational health assessments off-site can create unnecessary disruption.
A mobile unit helps to:
Reduce downtime and lost productivity by keeping employees on-site
Avoid travel and associated costs
Improve attendance rates for scheduled assessments
Maintain operational continuity, particularly in manufacturing, construction and logistics environments
Support compliance with health and safety legislation
Mobile occupational health services are widely used because they enable employers to carry out required health surveillance efficiently, without affecting day-to-day operations
This is particularly valuable where:
There is no suitable clinical space on-site
Background noise affects testing accuracy
Teams are working shifts or across multiple locations
Operational demands make off-site appointments impractical
By delivering assessments on-site, you can meet your legal obligations while keeping your workforce productive.
Delivery method
We bring our Mobile Health Screening Unit to your site and set up as a fully self-contained clinic.
This allows us to deliver a wide range of services, including:
Health surveillance (e.g. audiometry, spirometry, skin checks)
Fit to work and safety-critical medicals
Drug and alcohol testing
Role-specific assessments
All services are delivered by qualified occupational health clinicians and tailored to your risk profile.
The mobile unit is particularly suited to organisations across Kent, London and Essex, where travel into clinics may be impractical or where site-based delivery is more efficient.
Because the unit is self-contained, we do not rely on your facilities - removing common barriers such as lack of space or privacy. Similar mobile services are designed specifically to overcome these workplace challenges
Service levels
We work with you to plan delivery around your operational needs.
Mobile unit bookings can usually be accommodated within 3 weeks, but during busier periods there can be up to a 6 week wait.
Typical appointment durations are:
Short assessments:Â from approximately 20 minutes
Full safety-critical medicals (including drug and alcohol testing):Â up to 1 hour
Exact timings will depend on your requirements, workforce size and risk profile, and will be agreed in advance.
We can support:
Single-site or multi-site operations
Small teams through to large workforces
One-off projects or ongoing surveillance programmes
Our aim is to deliver a smooth, efficient service that minimises disruption while maintaining clinical quality.
Planning on-site assessments often raises a few practical questions. We’ve answered some of the most common ones below.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need access to power on-site?
In most cases, no.
Our mobile unit can usually operate for a full day visit without being plugged in.
Access to power may be required:
For multi-day visits in the same location
During colder months, when heating is in use
Where higher-power equipment is needed
If power access is required, we’ll confirm this with you in advance.
Will the mobile unit be comfortable in all weather?
The unit is equipped with heating and cooling to help manage temperature.
However, as with any mobile or outdoor-based setup:
Very hot or very cold weather can make conditions less comfortable over longer periods
Where a suitable indoor space is available, this is often the preferred option.
When is a mobile unit usually the best option?
A mobile unit is particularly useful where:
There is no suitable indoor space available
The environment is too noisy or exposed
Teams are working in temporary or outdoor locations (e.g. roadside or remote sites)
A controlled testing environment is required
What counts as a suitable room on-site?
A suitable room should be:
Private
Quiet enough for accurate testing (particularly hearing tests)
Clean and safe
Large enough for a desk, chair and equipment
A standard office or meeting room is usually ideal.
If you’re unsure, we’re happy to review photos or a description of the space before the visit.
Can you help us decide what’s best?
Yes - we’re happy to talk through your setup before anything is booked in.
In most cases, a quick conversation (or a few photos of your space) is enough to confirm whether a room will work, or whether a mobile unit would be more suitable.
