What a physician-signed Polarisk Assessment includes
A Polarisk Assessment is a scoped, fixed-fee psychosocial risk assessment, read and signed by a registered occupational health doctor.
It measures where psychosocial risk sits in your organisation, maps it to ISO 45003 and your local duty, and gives you a prioritised plan you can act on and evidence. It is delivered as a defined piece of work with a clear scope, timeline and price, not a subscription.
What you get
A validated survey, run at work-unit level, with results reported only where the group is large enough to protect anonymity. No individual scores.
A risk map that shows which areas and which work units are carrying psychosocial risk, and how serious it is.
A prioritised action plan, so you know what to address first and what good control looks like for each gap.
A written report, signed by a registered occupational health doctor, that you can put in front of your board or your regulator.
Where it helps, the assessment can be planned alongside your wider occupational health activity, so you run one coherent programme rather than a separate survey exercise. It includes a path to reassess on a cycle, so you can show whether the controls worked.
The physician sign-off, and why it matters
A survey tells you which work units are carrying risk. It does not, on its own, tell you why, how serious it is for the health of your staff, or what to prioritise. That reading is where a doctor matters.
A clinical reading, not just a score. A registered occupational health doctor reads the pattern the way a clinician reads a result, and translates it into risk to health, not just a survey number.
A named, accountable sign-off. If your board or your regulator asks, the report carries the judgement of a named, registered doctor. That is a stronger position than a report signed by a platform or a certified assessor alone.
It connects to the rest of your occupational health. Psychosocial risk sits next to medical surveillance, absence and fitness for work. A doctor can join those up.
How it works
Scope. A short call to agree your work units, headcount and jurisdiction, and a fixed fee for the work.
Confidential survey. Staff complete a validated survey. Results are aggregated so no individual can be identified.
Clinical reading. A registered occupational health doctor reads the results and interprets the pattern.
Report and plan. You receive a signed report and a prioritised action plan, typically within 30 days of the survey closing.
Reassess. An optional cycle to check whether the controls moved the risk.
Pricing
Fixed fee, quoted per organisation. The fee is scoped to your headcount, the number of work units and your jurisdiction, so you know the full cost before you commit. It is a deliverable, not a per-seat subscription.
When an Assessment is the right choice
We will be straight with you. If you only need a compliant survey run to a deadline, a software-only tool may be the quicker route for that narrow job.
Doctor-led is the better choice when you want the findings read clinically, integrated with your wider occupational health, and defensible to your board and your regulator over more than one cycle. Most employers who care about their people, and not only the deadline, want that second thing.
Privacy
The assessment is built around anonymity. Results are reported at work-unit level only, never as individual scores, and only where the group is large enough to protect identity. Your data is handled under a data processing agreement, with a defined retention period.
