Physical risk assessment
Classic under the German Occupational Safety Act: physical strain at the workplace, noise, climate, hazardous substances, lifting and carrying. We come on site.
Service · Workplace Health Management (WHM)
Health at work,
practical and on site.
We do not build an off-the-shelf WHM. Instead we look at your company, listen to what already works, and propose what could sensibly be added. With mobile equipment we come to you for examinations and site visits. From mid-sized companies to the production floor.

WHM
More than isolated measures,
less than a major project.
Screenings are one-off examinations. Fitness assessments decide about an activity. Workplace Health Management is different: an ongoing process in which we systematically promote the health of your staff together with you.
That can be an annual site visit, a workshop on display screen ergonomics, counselling for your leadership team on return-to-work conversations, or a complete psychological risk assessment. What makes sense depends on the company.
We bring mobile equipment along. Site visits, counselling and some examinations are carried out directly at your premises. That saves travel and makes the reality visible.
What our WHM includes.
Psychological risk assessment
Mandatory since 2013, often neglected. We capture psychological strain in a structured way and propose concrete measures.
Ergonomic walk-through
Sitting posture, screen positioning, lighting, movement space. We walk through the offices or workshops and document findings.
Workshops for staff
Topics: display screen ergonomics, stress management, sleep hygiene, healthy nutrition at work. In-house or at our practice.
Leadership consultation
How do I conduct a return-to-work conversation after illness? How do I address behavioural change? Practical counselling instead of theory.
Addiction and conflict prevention
On request: counselling on dealing with alcohol, medication, bullying. Discreet and in coordination with management.
On-site screening appointments
Entire workforces vaccinated, examined or counselled at your site on one day. Logistics planned by us.
How we work

The initial consultation is free. Only after the concept proposal do you decide whether we work together.

Workshops, site visits and counselling at the agreed cadence. We stay in contact and adjust the concept continuously.
Where WHM makes sense for us.
Mid-sized companies 50 – 500 staff
You have no dedicated health department but the ambition for structured support. We build a WHM with you that grows over time.
Workshop and industry
Physical hazards, physical strain, often also shift work. We bring experience and discuss noise, lifting and climate topics directly on site.
Office and administration
Display screen work, lack of movement, psychological strain due to workload. We focus on ergonomics and psychological health.
What managers and HR often ask.
What does WHM cost at IBI?
It depends on the scope. We work modularly: the initial consultation is free, site visits and workshops are billed per day or as a flat rate per module. After the concept proposal you receive a clear cost overview and then decide.
Are we obliged to conduct a psychological risk assessment?
Yes. The German Occupational Safety Act has required consideration of psychological strain since 2013 (§ 5 ArbSchG). In practice this is often overlooked — we help to catch up or take it on in a structured way for the first time.
Can we book just a single workshop with you?
Yes, that is possible. It does not have to be a full concept right away. If you need an ergonomics workshop for your office, for example, we do that as a one-off appointment too.
Does the health insurer cover part of the cost?
Some occupational health promotion modules are subsidised by health insurers. Some pay directly, others reimburse. We help you figure out what can be submitted where.
How often should we have a site visit?
At least once a year, more often in workshop and production environments. We discuss the right rhythm in the concept and get in touch in good time before the next appointment.
From our practice philosophy„Good occupational medicine does not arise from a checklist. It arises from the conversation between management, staff and practice team that builds trust over years. That is not something you buy. It grows."
Request a WHM consultation.
The initial consultation is free. We listen to what is on your agenda and consider together whether and where we can sensibly support.
