With incidences of skin cancer on the increase (double in the last 20 years and rising) early detection and treatment is vital. But most people won't go to the doctor just for a little mole which makes later treatments lengthier, more complex and more costly to the employer in sick pay. That's where our Molewatch Clinic comes in.
Our consultant comes to your workplace and can offer help and advice to up to 50 employees per day. All you need is a small, private room and somewhere nearby for others to wait. Each individual appointment only takes a few minutes. Moles are checked, referrals made if necessary, and advice is given on sun exposure.
This has proved to be a very popular service throughout the summer months, so this year we are offering it at £500.00 per day plus vat.

• 40 million working days are lost each year to occupational ill-health and injury*
[www.hse.gov.uk]
• Of the 3.3 million cases brought to the HSE regarding avoidable injury or ill health at work, roughly 317,000 were due to employers failing to adequately protect their employees from the effects of noise, chemicals, asbestos and dust. [www.hse.gov.uk]
• Last year, 14,492 claims were made against firms for deafness caused by noise exposure in the workplace [www.hse.gov.uk]
• 3000 people develop asthma each year because of substances they are exposed to doing their jobs [Asthma UK – www.asthma.org.uk]
• The maximum compensation that was paid out for noise exposure in one claim was £17500. [www.hse.gov.uk]
• Compensation was paid out in roughly 2/3 of cases, in amounts varying from £75 to £77,000. [www.hse.gov.uk]
• Compensation can be just the tip of the iceberg. A company that is found to be
liable for harm should add in the extra costs of time lost, sick pay, extra wages for
temporary labour, court and legal costs, fines and the damage done to their reputation.
Ouch.
