Mobile Van for Environmental Screening

Most occupational health services offered in our clinic can be provided on-site at your workplace. Employers find this convenient as it reduces costs associated with lost work time. On-site services include:
 
Mobile Audiology Van which is available for baseline and annual hearing tests. Tests can be done on up to six people at a time in a soundproof booth with HearTrak computerized software and training available at the time of testing. Hearing tests are designed to meet OSHA requirements, and include review and follow-up when necessary. We also offer hearing conservation program development.

Respiratory Physicals with pulmonary function tests and Respiratory Fit Testing (Qualitative) which complies with OSHA Standard 1910:134 for respiratory protection. The rule mandates comprehensive written respiratory protection programs, including procedures for selecting respirators, medical evaluations of all employees using respirators, fit testing, training, evaluation, and maintenance.

Our physicians have worked with many employers to provide a complete Respiratory Protection Program including respirator certification physical exams, review of the respirator medical evaluation questionnaire (available in both English and Spanish), pulmonary function testing and respirator fit testing. For your convenience, these services can be provided AT YOUR WORKSITE for a group of employees. To view the entire OSHA standard, go to http://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/dosh1.html.

The examination is done prior to hire, annually, and may be done as an exit physical as well.
• Physical Capacity Testing: This test is often done in conjunction with a pre-placement physical for positions requiring a high degree of strength and endurance. The demands of the test are based on the essential functions of the job as listed in the employee's job description. The test involves lifting, pushing, pulling, flexibility and monitoring correct body mechanics.
