Common Questions
Why is Occupational Health important for my business?
Occupational Health ensures your employees are fit for their roles, helps you comply with regulatory standards, and reduces the risk of workplace accidents or illnesses.
What services do you offer under Occupational Health?
We provide pre-employment and fit-for-duty exams, drug and alcohol testing, periodic medical evaluations, vaccinations and disease control, vision/hearing/respiratory exams, and return-to-work evaluations.
Are these services mandatory or just recommended?
Some services—like DOT physicals or certain industry-specific exams—may be legally required. Others, such as periodic health evaluations, are strongly recommended to maintain a healthy, efficient workforce.
How often should employees undergo these exams?
Frequency depends on the type of exam and industry regulations. For high-risk or safety-sensitive positions, annual or biannual exams are common. Our team can advise on a schedule that meets your needs.
Do you offer on-site or mobile testing?
Yes. We can come to your workplace or provide mobile services, minimizing downtime and making it more convenient for both employees and employers.
How do these services benefit employees?
Regular screenings and exams help detect potential health issues early, reduce workplace injuries, and ensure employees meet job-specific health requirements. This promotes overall well-being and job satisfaction.
Will I receive the results directly?
We follow strict confidentiality protocols. Depending on the nature of the test and consent forms, results may be shared with authorized personnel while protecting employee privacy.
How do Occupational Health services save costs?
By identifying and addressing health concerns early, you reduce absenteeism, lower healthcare costs, and avoid penalties for non-compliance—ultimately boosting productivity and saving money in the long run.
