Occupational health focuses on protecting the health, safety, and wellbeing of employees at work. It helps organisations prevent illness and injury, manage workplace risks, and create environments where people can work safely and perform at their best.
ECA provide practical guidance and easy-to-use templates designed to help organisations manage key occupational health risks and promote safer, healthier workplaces. From toolbox talks to detailed guidance notes, our resources support employees, managers, and health professionals in tackling issues such as MSDs, mental health, manual handling, noise, and workplace hygiene.

Since January 2018, JIB members have been offered occupational health assessments (OHAs) for all operatives participating in the JIB Benefits Scheme.
This is available to Members as part of the benefit credit purchase. It replaces the access to Bupa personal health assessments, which will no longer be available.
JIB - Occupational Health Assessments >
As an employer, you have a duty to ensure your employees are protected from work-based health risks. JIB membership provides enhanced occupational health support and services, to help you fulfil your business' obligations in this area.
ECA fully supports this initiative to help improve occupational health monitoring and management.
No. Membership to CBH is incorporated for JIB member companies as part of the JIB Benefit Credit. However, if you subsequently engage an accredited OHSP to carry out work-related medical surveillance for your workers, you bear the cost of that. When you engage an OHSP you qualify for some corporation tax relief.
You will have access to the OHSP area on the CBH website where a list is available.
Health checks undertaken by Bupa (or similar organisations) generally focus on general health and do not target work-related health risks.
The JIB/CBH partnership exists to safeguard the work-related health of electrical operatives while they are doing their job. A work-related health check identifies and sources recommendations to protect your workers’ health. This reduces absenteeism, risk of litigation and retains skilled workers.
You will also have access to CBH’s bespoke online health check tool, CHAT (Construction Health Action Toolkit).
Health records will be kept on a central database that can be accessed securely online from any site location by your appointed Occupational Health Service Provider (OHSP).
There are also guidance materials and resources available for your use.
You can call the JIB/CBH advice line with any queries about managing your employees’ work-related health.
You will have access to CBH accredited OHSPs to carry out health checks.
Tax relief is available for all employers providing Occupational Health support to their workers. They can claim against corporation tax as a legitimate expense.
Employee health records are used to inform you that an employee has attended appropriate health checks. They also specify the type of check carried out and recommendations to protect your employee’s health if necessary.
CBH cannot give specific health advice about an individual. However, they can help with general advice. Please email jib@cbhscheme.co.uk or call 01293 586786 for guidance.
As an employer you should be undertaking health checks to identify work-related health risks that might affect your workers.
CBH provides a useful matrix, which helps employers to identify the relevant health checks regarding both the employees’ job role and related health risk.
You should then engage with a suitable Occupational Health Service Provider (OHSP) that is CBH accredited to carry out the relevant health checks.
Health data is medically confidential and can only be viewed by health professionals. As the employer, you will have a health record, which confirms the health checks that have been undertaken for your employees and the outcome regarding fitness for the task. You, the employer will not have access to your employees’ medical information, neither will the site manager.
The health checks identified by CBH are those required by law. They are part of the requirement to identify if an employee has experienced any health effects when undertaking specific work activities.
