The Office of the Chief Medical Officer (CMO), which incorporates the Civil Service Occupational Health Department (CSOHD), is based in Dublin city centre. The staff consists of doctors, nurses and administration staff. All doctors are on the Medical Councils Register of Medical Specialists in Occupational Medicine, and all nurses have postgraduate qualifications in Occupational Health.
The primary role of CMO/CSOHD is to assist the workplace rehabilitation of sick employees, advice on day to day work and health issues and protect employee health through health screening and immunisation programmes. The CMO is also involved in policy issues relating to work and health.

- Pre-employment health assessments
- Workplace rehabilitation of employees with health problems
- Ill health retirement assessments
- Immunisations
- Health surveillance (for example, audiology hearing checks)
