What is a periodic health assessment?

Depending on needs of employer and employees periodic medical assessments can be done on monthly or annually basis such that close follow-up on an employee’s health condition may be obtained. Tests are completed and results regularly compared to recognize and identify any health concerns. Our occupational safety officer and physicians can then counsel and educate employers and employees on prevention and treatment recommendations.
