In today’s workplace, health and safety go hand in hand. Occupational health testing plays a vital role in ensuring employees are fit for duty, and knowing how to interpret these results can empower you to take control of your well-being.
What Are Occupational Health Tests?
These tests assess an employee’s health in relation to their job. Common examples include:
- Pre-employment screenings
- Hearing and vision tests
- Respiratory function tests
- Blood lead level tests
- Drug and alcohol screenings
The goal is early detection of health risks and compliance with safety regulations.
