FAQs
FAQS Commonly Asked Questions
What is OSHA medical surveillance?
OSHA medical surveillance is the ongoing medical monitoring of employees exposed to specific workplace hazards, required by individual OSHA standards so exposure-related health effects are detected early. A program defines which exams are required, how often they repeat, what the provider must report to the employer, and how long records are kept. It is monitoring tied to exposure, not a one-time pre-hire physical.
What’s the difference between a pre-placement and a pre-employment?
Both terms describe the same evaluation: a medical assessment conducted after a conditional job offer to confirm a candidate can safely perform essential job functions.
How long do results take?
Most evaluations are completed and reported within 24–48 hours, depending on the scope of testing required.
Can Occu-Med manage surveillance across multiple states and sites?
Yes. Occu-Med runs one consistent program across every location through a national provider network, so a multi-site employer gets the same protocols, quality, and recordkeeping everywhere, instead of managing a separate clinic relationship at each site and reconciling records by hand.
Are employees required to participate?
Occu-Med ensures all requests comply with legal standards.
What happens if accommodations are needed?
Analyzing work restrictions and accommodations to lead employers to valid defensible decisions of
reasonableness or undue hardship.
