About Us

Based in Yorkshire, Harris Occupational Health is a family-run business providing high-quality occupational health services. It is led by its founder, Dr Paul Harris MFOM. We have experience across various sectors, including NHS and private healthcare, schools, higher education, fire and rescue, construction, service industries, local government, manufacturing, engineering, food production, and professional services.
 
Dr Harris is a consultant occupational health physician. He is a Health and Safety Executive (HSE) appointed doctor for health surveillance of workers exposed to lead, asbestos and ionising radiation and a Faculty of Occupational Medicine (FOM) approved HAVS tier 4 specialist. Being a small independent provider, Harris Occupational Health can offer a highly personalised service that is responsive to your needs, can quickly turn around high-quality reports and provide continuity of advice.

Services

Following an independent assessment of an employee, we provide clear and easy-to-understand advice regarding the impact of an employee’s health on work and fitness for their role, the impact of work on their health and any implications under the disability provision of The Equality Act 2010.

We’ll make sure a new employee is fit for their proposed role and offer advice on any necessary adaptations the organisation may wish to consider.

With detailed knowledge of a range of pension schemes, including the NHS Pension Scheme, Teachers Pension Scheme, Universities Superannuation Scheme, and the Local Government Pension Scheme, we offer high-quality advice for those employees who may be unable to remain in work due to a long-term health condition.

Dr Harris holds the Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) certificate issued by the Faculty of Occupational Medicine, enabling him to carry out Tier 4 HAVS assessments.

The HSE appoints Dr Harris under the Ionising Radiation, Control of Lead at Work, and Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations. This allows him to carry out statutory medicals to enable your organisation to meet its legal requirements. He can carry out both licensed and non-licensed asbestos medicals.

We can conduct medical assessments to ensure employees in safety-critical industries are fit to carry out their duties.

Visits to workplaces can be arranged if you need to assess an employee within the workplace.

Appointments

We offer face-to-face or remote consultations via video link or telephone. We are happy to discuss your requirements so that an employee can be assessed using the right platform with minimum organisational disruption. Face-to-face consultations are conducted in clinical rooms at a purpose-built health centre in Addingham, West Yorkshire.
