Guidance for managers

Occupational Health

Where employees are absent from work and an occupational health referral is considered appropriate or you require to make a pre-employment screening, you can do this using the new online occupational health system.

The new system will have 2 separate areas (with separate logins required):

  • OHIO - users can make/manage Occupational Health Management, Health Surveillance or Wellbeing referrals.
  • Fit4Jobs - users can initiate Pre-Employment Health Checks for potential new employees.

Access to the systems

OHIO

Once you are registered as a user, you will receive an email with your username and temporary password to access the system. 

The email will look like this:

Please be aware that your OHIO account details have been successfully updated.

Please use the name@falkirk.gov.uk email address as your user name.

Your new password is <temp password>

OHIO is always accessible for you at: A link for you will be provided.

You will be asked to change it once you log in. Your new password must be a minimum of 8 characters containing at least 1 capital letter and 1 number; no special characters/symbols and no repeating characters such as 22.

User access and team changes

New OHIO users, including new managers, employees and post-to-post changes, are included in the monthly data upload sent to PAM.

If you are a new manager and require access before the next monthly upload, please contact the HR Systems Team:

HR Systems Team

Missing team members

If team members are missing from your hierarchy, email hrformsplus@falkirk.gov.uk with the following:

  • employee name
  • employee number
  • Post ID

The hierarchy will be updated in MyView and reflected in the next monthly update to the OHIO system.

Do not contact PAM directly regarding hierarchy updates, as these requests should be coordinated by HR in the first instance.
