Occupational health and company safety as a competitive advantage.
Companies need safe workplaces, healthy employees and clear compliance. Skema HSE provides specialist advice that goes beyond a formal requirement: we help build a solid, lasting safety culture.
Skema HSE is a partner for integrated workplace safety management, competent physician appointments and health surveillance under Legislative Decree 81/2008.
The legal framework for occupational health and health surveillance.
Article 25 of Legislative Decree 81/2008
The competent physician prepares the health surveillance plan, keeps health and risk records and collaborates with prevention services.
Article 41 of Legislative Decree 81/2008
The law governs preventive, periodic, role-change, return-to-work and employee-requested medical examinations and fitness judgements.

A structured partner brings concrete operational benefits in addition to avoiding penalties.
Less absenteeism
Prevention protects employees and reduces avoidable downtime.
Better insurance-cost control
Correct fitness judgements and prescriptions reduce accident exposure.
