Medical Surveillance
What Is Medical Surveillance?
Medical surveillance is a system of measures that assesses employees’ exposure to chemicals, extreme heat, high radiation levels, or any hazardous component to the body. These measures allow employers to get an inside look at the state of their employees’ health over time. Through medical surveillance, our clinicians:
- Monitor for early health effects from worksite exposure to biologic, chemical, physical, and potential hazards
- Determine the effectiveness of worksite exposure-control measures
- Monitor occupational exposure to high temperatures
- And more
MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE IS EARLY INTERVENTION
Medical surveillance can help to detect diseases or abnormal trends in health status before an employee typically seeks medical attention. Our clinicians perform a wide range of exams and can interpret exam results. Screenings include:
- Baseline
- Baseline follow-up
- Periodic
- Biological monitoring
- Exit exams
