HAVS Medicals and Occupational Health Services in Brentford

We’re pleased to share that our Brentford clinic has expanded capacity for face-to-face occupational health services from September 2025. This means faster appointments for Tier 4 HAVS medicals, management referrals, and a range of workplace vaccines - helping local businesses keep their people healthy and safe at work.

What are HAVS medicals?

Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) is a serious condition that can be caused by regular use of hand-held vibrating tools and equipment, such as drills, grinders or breakers. Employers are required under the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations to provide health surveillance for workers at risk.

At our Brentford clinic, we now offer Tier 4 HAVS medicals carried out by an occupational health doctor. These advanced assessments are required when earlier stages of HAVS health surveillance identify possible symptoms, ensuring workers receive a clear diagnosis and appropriate advice on fitness for work.

Management referrals with a personal touch

Our occupational health management referrals give employers independent advice when health issues affect work. Whether it’s supporting someone back after sickness absence, assessing reasonable adjustments, or providing guidance on fitness for work, our reports are clear, balanced and practical.

As an employee-owned business, everyone in our team is invested in delivering the best possible service. We pride ourselves on our human touch - making sure employees feel listened to, and employers receive advice that is both compassionate and useful.

From Hepatitis B for healthcare staff to flu vaccines for busy teams, our Brentford clinic provides a range of occupational vaccinations. Protecting staff through immunisation is one of the simplest, most effective ways to reduce sickness absence and safeguard wellbeing.
