- As part of our compliance we are required to complete Health Monitoring for all staff due to our working environment. In addition to this, Tumu Timbers incorporate the opportunity to complete a Health Check. The Health Check is completed free of charge and during work hours. In our experience, we have found a large majority of our employees don't find the time to have a regular health check completed. By allowing this to be completed on site and during work hours assists to remove potential barriers. We have had great success in picking up general health issues that may otherwise have gone un-noticed. Impact Health come on site annually to complete our Health Monitoring and Checks.
