Eight services that carry an employee through their whole working life, from the medical before they are hired to the plan that brings them back after an injury. The complete list of what the practice does is set out further down.
Systematic monitoring of employees exposed to workplace hazards, so early effects are caught long before permanent disease.
Assessment against the real demands and hazards of the job, ending in a clear and defensible fitness decision.
On-site hearing and lung function testing for workers exposed to hazardous noise, dust, fumes and respiratory irritants.
Structured support after illness, injury, surgery or long absence, so an employee comes back safely and stays back.
Fitness assessment focused on the conditions that could cause sudden or unpredictable incapacity at the wrong moment.
Assessment of the fit between the person, the task and the workstation, with adjustments that actually reduce strain.
Confidential assessment for occupational stress, anxiety and burnout, with practical adjustments and a route back.
Awareness sessions and wellness programmes shaped around your workforce profile and the hazards they actually face.
Occupational health rarely arrives as a single request. This is the full scope, so you can see at a glance whether what you need is already covered.

Where employees are exposed to specified hazardous substances, the employer may carry a statutory duty to arrange medical surveillance by an occupational health physician. We help you work out which of your roles that actually covers, and set up the surveillance to match. The point of statutory surveillance is not the paperwork; it is catching occupational disease early enough to do something about it.
These are the rules the practice works to, and the reason an employer can rely on the opinion it receives.
Occupational medicine is preventive before it is anything else. Catching a health effect early is what stops it becoming permanent disease.
Examinations and investigations follow the exposure and the job demands. No routine test is ordered simply because it exists.
Recommendations rest on medical evidence, clinical findings, functional capacity and what the role genuinely requires.
Occupational medical opinions are given independently and impartially, whichever party asked for the assessment.
Clinical information belongs to the employee and is held to professional medical standards. The employer receives the decision, not the file.
Wherever it is possible, the aim is to keep someone working safely through adjustments, restrictions or rehabilitation rather than to rule them out.
This is the part HR managers ask about most, and it is the part that makes occupational health work. Medical confidentiality is not a courtesy in this field, it is the condition that lets an employee answer honestly, which is the only way a fitness decision can be worth anything.
Professional independence works the same way. The opinion is the same opinion whoever commissioned the assessment, which is precisely what makes it defensible if it is ever challenged.
Detailed clinical information is not routinely disclosed to an employer without proper justification and the employee's consent.
Occupational Health Services Ltd is the practice of Dr Shahil Dawreeawoo, an occupational health physician working with employers across manufacturing, construction, logistics, hospitality and the service sector, throughout Mauritius and Rodrigues.
An occupational health assessment is not an ordinary clinical consultation. It looks at two things at once: how the work and its exposures may affect the employee's health, and how the employee's health may affect their ability to do the work safely. That means weighing the medical condition, the functional capacity, the exposures and the demands of the job together.
The approach is preventive rather than reactive. Instead of signing certificates after the fact, we look at the job, the hazards and the person doing the work, then put controls in place that keep people healthy and keep the business compliant. Every engagement is handled personally, so your HR team always speaks to the same physician.
Dr Dawreeawoo also contributes to the national conversation on workplace and public health in Mauritius, from occupational exposure to leptospirosis to respiratory virus preparedness in the workplace.
Different sites, different hazards. The programme is built around the work your people actually do.

Everything an HR manager usually asks before the first call.

Yes. Health surveillance, screening days, ergonomic assessments and vaccination campaigns are normally run at your site, anywhere in Mauritius and Rodrigues. Individual consultations and medical board assessments are held at the consulting room in Vacoas.
The assessment starts from the job itself: what the role physically requires and what the person is exposed to. That is followed by a medical history, a clinical examination and any tests the role calls for, such as vision, hearing or lung function.
You receive a fitness outcome and, where relevant, the adjustments that would make the role safe. Clinical details stay confidential between the employee and the physician.
Yes. Medical records belong to the employee and are held under medical confidentiality. As the employer you receive the outcome you need to make a decision, fit, fit with adjustments, or temporarily unfit, and never the underlying clinical detail.
Fees are quoted per engagement, because a pre-employment medical for three new hires and an annual surveillance programme for four hundred factory workers are very different pieces of work. Send through your requirement and you get a written quote, with nothing due until you accept it.
Yes. We review where you stand against your duties under the Occupational Safety and Health Act 2005, identify the gaps, and set out what needs to happen and in what order. The output is a practical plan, not a compliance lecture.
