Services for employers
Employers use our occupational health services to keep medical care close to their people, and to support the duties the Occupational Health and Safety Act places on them.
Healthcare professionals working at your premises, the core of our occupational health services, so employees are seen for routine care and emergencies without leaving site.
See on-site medical services →A paramedic team and an ambulance based on your premises, whether a mine, a plant or a remote site, with a doctor available where the operation needs one.
See remote ambulance stations →Accredited OHS courses for the safety officers and managers who carry the compliance duty, delivered at your workplace anywhere in South Africa.
See training courses →How it works
01
Where it is, how many people work there, the shifts they cover and the risks they face on the job. Occupational health services are planned from those four facts.
02
Clinic staff, paramedics, an ambulance or a doctor, in the mix your operation needs rather than a fixed package of occupational health services.
03
Employees are seen on site. Cases that need hospital care are transferred by ambulance, with the crew level matched to the patient.
Questions
Call 0861 725 633 or send an enquiry with your site location, head count and shift pattern, and we will come back with a proposal for occupational health services on your site. Ralmed runs occupational health clinics and remote site clinics on employers' premises, staffed by doctors, nurses and paramedics in the mix your workforce needs.
An occupational health clinic looks after workers' everyday health and the health risks of their job. Ralmed's clinics carry out occupational health assessments linked to those risks, treat workplace injuries from the first dressing to follow-up care, and run wellness sessions, including HIV education, that encourage early detection and healthy living at work.
A paramedic team and an ambulance based on your premises, with a doctor available on site where the operation requires one. The mix of staff is planned around your site, its shifts and its risks. When a worker needs hospital care, the on-site crew can transport them by ambulance to a suitable hospital with their clinical notes.
No. Ralmed's occupational health services support your safety team rather than replace it. The duties the Occupational Health and Safety Act places on an employer, such as assessing risks and keeping first aiders and first aid boxes on site, stay with the employer. We help you meet them through clinics, assessments and accredited training.
Our occupational health services, including on-site clinics and remote ambulance stations, are arranged on employers' own premises. Occupational health and safety training is different: our trainers deliver accredited courses at workplaces anywhere in South Africa. Tell us where your site is and we will confirm what we can provide there.
Yes. An on-site clinic treats everyday illness and carries out occupational health assessments, so workers are seen without leaving the premises. Injuries are managed by a clinical team on hand when an incident happens, and cases that need a hospital go on by Ralmed ambulance, which keeps lost working time to a minimum.
Yes. Ralmed runs wellness sessions at workplaces, including HIV education, that encourage early detection and healthy living. Sessions can be planned around shifts so that everyone has a chance to attend. Ask for the topics that suit your workforce when you plan your occupational health programme with us.
Yes. Ralmed's First Aid courses, from Basic to Advanced (formerly First Aid Level 1 to Level 3), and its occupational health and safety training are accredited by HWSETA and the QCTO. Courses run at your premises anywhere in South Africa and are taught by working paramedics, so your first aiders learn from people who respond to real incidents.
The cost depends on the staff mix, the hours of cover, the number of workers and the equipment the site needs, so every proposal is priced for the operation. Send us your site details and shift pattern, and we will explain the options and what each one includes before you commit.
