Occupational Medicine

In the United States, OSHA last reported that nearly 3% of the workforce become injured or ill while performing workplace duties. When these incidents occur, it’s good to have a plan. As a business owner or manager, when proactive steps are in place, it protects your workforce by minimizing the risk of common injuries like sprains, strains, burns, lacerations, and fractures. It’s important to feel confident and prepared when unpredicted workplace injuries or illnesses occur. Halifax Health ExpressCare has your back. Our experienced team can provide cost-effective, company-tailored occupational medicine and workers’ compensation injury treatment to help your injured employees get well—and all of your employees stay well.

Before you make a final hiring decision, it’s a good idea to require each job candidate to undergo a pre-employment physical examination. And after you bring an employee on board, periodical physicals will help you feel confident that the employee remains healthy. The occupational medicine specialists at Halifax Health ExpressCare can help. We perform pre-employment and annual employee physicals, including DOT physicals, and each is fully customized based on the specific job description, working environment, and potential hazards. Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive picture of each prospective or current employee’s health status, allowing you to confirm that he or she is capable of safely performing the required job duties. Ultimately, employment physicals will help you promote safety in the workplace.
