Occlio is a platform that helps Irish organisations manage psychosocial risks and build ISO 45003 compliance into everyday work, without the consultancy fees or admin overhead.
Annual surveys aren't enough
Most organisations still rely on annual staff surveys to understand psychosocial risk. By the time you've collected, analysed, and acted on the data, months have passed and the picture has already changed.
The traditional approach
- Annual surveys that capture a single moment
- Months between data collection and action
- Low response rates and survey fatigue
- Manual evidence gathering for HSA inspections
With Occlio
- Continuous evidence from everyday interactions
- Real-time visibility into psychosocial risk
- No extra admin for your team
- Reports ready for the HSA, the WRC, and the board
