People in physically demanding roles face significant health risks, yet often have fewer opportunities to identify them early and access support. This webinar will show how organisations can shape their workplace health strategy around their whole workforce, so nobody misses out simply because of their role, location or working pattern. Guest speaker Toni Chamberlain, Health & Safety Advisor at Kier Group, will bring the discussion to life with practical lessons from her experience.
Many employers offer a broad range of health and wellbeing support. But when access depends on office attendance, fixed appointments or centralised services, site-based, mobile and shift-working employees are often left on the outside.
1 in 3 manual workers say they have no wellbeing support at work.
Almost two-thirds (62%) also say it has become harder to get health appointments.

That gap has consequences. Health risks can remain hidden until they become more serious and contribute to absence, require Occupational Health support or limit someone’s ability to do their job.
How to deliver a workplace health programme that’s fit for the job
Making workplace health more inclusive means planning support around where, when and how operational employees work, with a clear and practical route to support when a risk is identified.
Register for our upcoming webinar and we’ll help you identify where employees are being excluded and explore practical changes to how health support is planned, communicated and connected to existing services.
You’ll learn how to:
- Identify how locations, working patterns and roles create barriers to accessing health support
- Plan health checks across sites, depots and projects without disrupting critical operations
- Build trust with employees who may be less likely to seek out or respond to health support
- Connect employees with clear, relevant support when a health risk is identified
- Use anonymised health data to understand who is being reached and where gaps remain
You’ll also hear directly from Kier Group about its experience of delivering health checks within its operational workforce and the practical lessons other employers can apply.
Who should attend?
This webinar is for Health and Safety, Occupational Health, Wellbeing and People leaders responsible for site-based, mobile, shift-working or safety-critical employees.
It will be particularly relevant to organisations across construction, engineering, energy, utilities and transport that need to deliver health support across multiple sites, depots or projects.
