About Health Wizard at Work
The Development of an Innovative Solution
Health Wizard at Work recognises that traditional health test methods and systems are no longer practical for many organisations.
These methods and systems fail to offer the flexibility and convenience needed by businesses who want a low-cost easy solution that fits in with how they work, wherever this may be.
So the Health Wizard at Work team created a new solution that enables high-quality Health and Safety compliant hearing test and other surveillance tests to be completed by anyone anywhere that has an internet connection via Wi-Fi or 3G/4G/5G coverage.
Self-contained in a neat, sturdy and lightweight case, the Health Wizard at Work system is already revolutionising on-site hearing tests and is now used by a wide range of businesses across sectors including manufacturing, food processing, horticulture, construction, facilities, logistics and transport, printing, music and entertainment, hospitality and more.
It’s flexibility and convenience means that any business with staff in any location can now offer their employees quick and easy user-operated hearing tests that enable them to fully meet their hearing monitoring Occupational Health, Health and Safety, and insurance requirements. All in virtually any language.
“Initially, we set out to create a portable self-contained hearing test solution that enabled businesses to test the hearing health of their staff easily and in way that fitted in with how they work. Customers quickly asked us to take the same approach to other health tests in the workplace. The Health Wizard at Work system does exactly that and is revolutionising how employers provide high quality HSE compliant hearing tests and other surveillance checks for their staff.”

Our Mission
This body is the only one we’ve got and “complexity” has been an excuse for not checking our health at work for too long.
Which is a shame, when happiness, productivity and health are interlinked.
They are also built on the empowerment that comes from understanding and information. And because everyone needs to be their best selves throughout a longer life and more careers than ever, health tests and surveillance are more important for more people than ever.
We want everyone who needs health test at work to have one. Health Wizard at Work means quality, standardised health tests can be conducted by anyone, anywhere, at any time of day.
We say this a lot, because this is what we offer.
