Occentra

For logistics and distribution

Driver fitness across your depot network.

HGV, LGV and fleet drivers have specific fitness requirements. Occentra captures licence category, route pattern and loading duties so clinical advice addresses the real job.

Driver fitness

Referrals that describe the real driving role.

A driver referral needs more than a job title. Licence category, vehicle type, hours, night work and loading duties all affect the assessment.

Role-specific referrals

Configured forms capture licence, route, hours and physical demands. Clinicians assess the real job, not a generic driver title.

Fitness restrictions

Restrictions specify affected duties, duration and review. Not just fit or unfit, but what work is and is not appropriate.

Licensing boundaries

Occentra records OH assessment and work advice. Statutory licensing decisions and notification duties remain distinct.

Night worker assessment

Employees complete screening around their shift. Routine submissions follow the configured pathway; concerns are routed for review.

Network coordination

One OH view across the depot network.

Employees stay connected as they change location or role. Local managers see their authorised workforce; central teams retain network-wide visibility.

Driver management referrals

Vehicle, licence, route, hours and physical demands captured. The manager's question and decision needed are explicit.

Loader and warehouse referrals

Manual handling, equipment use and shift pattern described. Each role gets appropriate questions, but all enter the same case model.

Health surveillance

Programmes coordinated by exposure and role. Due and incomplete work visible across depots without distributing clinical results.

Return-to-work advice

Functional restrictions, affected duties, duration and review. Current advice remains clear when people move routes or depots.

Agency and seasonal pathways

Employer, employment type and assignment recorded separately. Access and retention follow the relationship.

What changes

Practical advice connected to real operational work.

Restrictions that make sense for the job, review dates that get followed, status that stays current.

Clearer fitness advice

Referrals describe licence, vehicle and duties. Clinicians give advice managers can apply. Restrictions specify what is affected.

Network-wide visibility

Central OH teams see referrals, cases and outstanding work across depots. Local managers see their authorised workforce only.

Restrictions that stay current

Temporary restrictions have review dates. Cases stay open until follow-up is complete. New advice replaces the current position clearly.

Less manual coordination

Shared queues and documents reduce chasing between OH, depots and shift managers. Administrators focus on exceptions.

Why Occentra

A clear operating model for occupational health.

Occentra models referrals, cases, appointments and reports around the work occupational health actually does. Configuration adapts the platform to different organisations without creating separate software branches.

Referrals with explicit status

Draft, submitted, received, triaged and accepted are distinct states. Teams can see what is ready for clinical work and what needs attention first.

Cases that hold work together

Tasks, appointments and forms connect to the employee and referral. A case stays open while scheduled work or review actions remain.

Forms without rewriting history

Teams publish versioned templates. Submitted answers stay tied to the form used, while new work moves to the current version.

Permissions by OH responsibility

Operations, advisers, physicians and managers receive different abilities. Server-side checks keep those boundaries consistent.

Frequently asked questions

How Occentra handles logistics work.

What information does OH receive for an HGV driver referral?

Licence category, vehicle, route pattern, hours, night work, loading duties and the decision needed. Those answers stay with the case so the clinician assesses the real job.

Does Occentra decide whether a driver keeps their licence?

No. Occentra records the OH assessment and work advice. Statutory licensing decisions and notification duties remain with the relevant authority and individual.

Do drivers, loaders and warehouse operatives use the same referral form?

No. Each route asks about demands relevant to the role. All submissions enter the same referral lifecycle and case model.

Can night workers complete screening outside office hours?

Yes. Employees complete the questionnaire around their shift. Routine submissions follow the pathway; concerns create professional review work.

Can a depot manager see why a driver has been restricted?

They see the work restriction, affected duties, duration and review date. Not the diagnosis or clinical evidence. Manager access is separate from OH permissions.

Can one OH team run referrals across a national depot network?

Yes. Employee records stay connected as people change location. Appointments filter by depot. Local managers see their workforce; central teams retain network-wide view.
