Occupational Health and You
Occupational health is a field of medicine that focuses on the prevention and management of health problems in the workplace. It involves identifying, evaluating, and controlling health hazards that can affect workers’ well-being.
As specialists in the field of occupational health and workplace safety programs, the Work Clinic performs a variety of physical examinations and other functions related to employment and the workplace.
- Pre-Employment Requirements Potential employees need to meet the professional job requirements, but they’ve also got to meet the physical requirements. Avoid workplace injuries and other consequences by screening the physical fitness of your workforce. The Work Clinic offers a multitude of examinations to ensure your future employees are a good match for the job at hand.
- Work Injury Claims The Work Clinic specializes in work injury claims. We provide comprehensive occupational healthcare to patients so they can get back on their feet quicker and we have the know-how when it comes to filing, faxing, and recording work-related injury paperwork.
- Workplace Health Checks What we do goes beyond the walls of our physical locations. The Work Clinic offers on-site services to your location. Our workplace health checks are a great way to initiate a workplace safety program and a convenient way to test, vaccinate, or monitor your employees without ever having to leave the office.
Workplace Health and Safety Equals Sound Business Practice
- Reduced Costs Accidents and illness can lead to significant financial burdens for employers through lost productivity, increased insurance premiums, workers' compensation claims, and legal expenses. Employers can reduce these risks by investing in workplace health and safety,
- Improved Morale and Productivity Employees who feel safe and valued are more likely to be satisfied with their jobs and more productive. A safe work environment contributes to a positive company culture and can attract and retain top talent.
What The Work Clinic Can Do
- Pre-Employment Physicals Determine whether applicants/employees are medically and physically able to perform their jobs. Establish a medical baseline for employees in accordance with the appropriate regulatory agency (DOT, OSHA, etc.). We also perform periodic medical monitoring when indicated.
- Fitness-for-Duty Examinations Confirm that employees can perform their job duties upon return from medical leave as part of the company’s health and wellness initiatives.
- Exit Physicals Determine if an exiting employee is healthy at the time he or she leaves the company.
- Annual and Periodic Physical Examinations Keep your employees up-to-date on their health.
Reviews of the patient’s medical and occupational history allow us to proceed with the physical examination.
About The Work Clinic
The Work Clinic has been a local provider of occupational medicine around the Puget Sound area since 1991. Over this time we have successfully treated and provided services for thousands of patients and employers in both our Tukwila and Seattle clinics. We offer unbiased medical care delivered in a manner that fosters a cohesive foundation of understanding with employees.
We specialize in work-related services — because of this, we do not provide treatment for non-work related injuries or illnesses. The Work Clinic can treat all work-related injuries that are not life or limb-threatening such as sprains, eye injuries, lacerations, burns, respiratory injuries, abrasions, and chemical exposure. We include programs and resources that can help prevent illness, maintain health, and provide early intervention and rehabilitation whenever injuries or health problems occur.
