Musculoskeletal and mental health risks are those which often are not identified until a problem occurs. Screening for such problems is not easy and often the underlying causative factors of both of these problems may be associated with lifestyle including diet and exercise.
A proactive approach to Health Surveillance from a best practise perspective can include a range of lifestyle assessments, including the identification of occupational and non-occupational physical and mental risks. These are voluntary but should be encouraged as part of a healthy culture within an organisation.
