Audiogram testing is crucial for occupational health, especially in noisy work environments. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates that employees exposed to an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) of 85 decibels (dB) or more must undergo regular hearing tests as part of a Hearing Conservation Program (HCP).
Hair drug testing, also known as hair follicle drug testing, is a method used to detect the presence of drugs in a person's system over a longer period, typically up to 90 days.
Oral drug testing, also known as saliva drug testing, is a non-invasive method that detects recent drug use.
In-house X-ray services are essential for occupational health, providing quick and accurate imaging for various medical needs. These services ensure that employees receive timely and accurate medical care, contributing to a safer and healthier work environment.
Lab work can be crucial to monitoring workplace safety. These laboratory tests can detect exposure to hazardous substances such as lead, asbestos, run complete blood count (CBC), and other relevant tests. By adhering to OSHA guidelines, we can make ensure a healthy worksite.
Occupational fit testing ensures that employees are physically and mentally capable of performing their job duties safely. These exams are crucial for maintaining workplace safety and compliance with regulatory standards. We check each employees vital signs, physical abilities, and medical history to ensure safety at work.
Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) are essential for assessing lung performance, especially for employees exposed to respiratory hazards. These tests help ensure that employees' respiratory health is monitored and maintained, contributing to a safer and healthier work environment.
Respirator Fit Testing (RFT) is essential for ensuring that employees who need to wear tight-fitting respirators can do so safely and effectively. RFT confirms that a respirator fits an individual correctly, forming an effective seal against the face to prevent leaks. Qualitative Fit Testing (QLFT): This pass/fail method relies on the wearer's sensory detection of an irritant or odor to determine if the respirator fits properly. It's typically used for half-face respirators, such as N95s.
Quantitative Fit Testing (QNFT): This method uses specialized equipment to measure the exact amount of leakage into the respirator, providing a more precise fit assessment. It's required for full-face respirators or when higher levels of protection are necessary.
By completing various vision testing, you can be sure your employee has the visual capabilities to ensure a safe workplace. Visual Acuity Tests measure how well a person can see details at various distances. They are essential for jobs that require precise visual tasks, such as reading fine print or operating machinery.
