Occentra

For manufacturing organisations

Surveillance that follows risk, not a static list.

Manufacturing health risks depend on task, process and exposure duration. Occentra connects role and risk information to programme requirements so surveillance follows actual work.

Risk-based model

Programmes driven by exposure, not job title.

Job titles do not always describe actual exposure. When people change line or shift, requirements should update accordingly.

Risk-linked enrolment

Role, site and exposure information determine the appropriate health activity. Changes create review work rather than silent alterations.

Exposure history

Noise, vibration and respiratory records are meaningful as a sequence. Earlier results and work context inform clinical interpretation.

Shift-accessible scheduling

Assessments fit production and availability across early, late and night shifts. Missed appointments are visible, not assumed.

Fitness restrictions

Restrictions concern specific tasks: machinery, driving, respiratory equipment. Managers receive functional advice and review date.

Programme coordination

Separate programmes, one employee record.

Noise, vibration and respiratory surveillance can run independently while connecting to the same person.

Noise surveillance

Audiometry, questionnaires, clinical review and recall. Thresholds trigger escalation for professional attention.

HAVS programme

Staged pathway for vibration exposure. Questionnaires, tier assessment and clinical escalation coordinated.

Respiratory surveillance

Spirometry, questionnaires and follow-up for relevant exposures. Previous results available for trend review.

Safety-critical assessments

Functional and clinical evidence for machinery, vehicles or defined risk. Restrictions and review periods recorded.

Exposure continuity

An operator moves to a higher-noise process.

Role changes should update requirements without losing earlier history.

A practical example

Programme transition

  1. Updated role or risk information indicates a new surveillance pathway. OH sees the requirement alongside existing history.

  2. The employee is scheduled into a shift-accessible appointment. Pre-assessment information and previous results are available to the practitioner.

  3. Assessment is recorded in a structured template. Findings meeting escalation criteria are routed for clinical review.

  4. Management advice about work or controls is released through a protected process. Managers receive functional action, not the medical record.

  5. Programme reporting shows completion and whether follow-up remains outstanding.

What changes

Reliable process around surveillance and fitness.

Earlier visibility of gaps, less manual reconciliation. Workplace controls and clinical decisions stay with competent people.

Reliable programme coverage

Due, overdue and incomplete activity visible by programme and site. Missing role data, non-attendance and clinical review treated as different problems.

Exposure record continuity

Earlier assessments and work context stay connected when people change role or site. Practitioners gain a clearer longitudinal view.

Less production disruption

Shift-aware scheduling and visible appointment status help plants coordinate release. Missed work identified before the next review.

Clearer management action

Authorised reports state restrictions and control advice in practical terms. Supervisors act without unnecessary clinical information.

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 manufacturing work.

Can noise, vibration and respiratory surveillance run as separate programmes?

Yes. Each has its own form, clinical review route and recall period. Employees can belong to more than one programme. Submitted assessments stay tied to the form version used.

Does Occentra decide which workers need surveillance?

No. The employer's competent risk assessment sets the requirement. Occentra records who is enrolled, which pathway applies and when the next assessment is due.

Can a clinician compare today's result with previous assessments?

Yes. Submitted forms remain on the employee's history with date and version. Clinicians review the sequence; supervisors receive only programme status and authorised advice.

How do we schedule clinics around rotating shifts?

Appointments are organised by plant, practitioner, time and method in one diary. Occentra checks for clashes and distinguishes completed, cancelled and did-not-attend bookings.

Can plants follow local processes without fragmenting group reporting?

Yes. Sites use different locations, forms and lookups where risks genuinely differ. Employee, referral and appointment states remain consistent for comparable reporting.

What can a production supervisor see after an assessment?

The authorised fitness advice, restriction, programme status and review date. Questionnaire answers, test results and medical records stay restricted to OH.
