Transportation (DOT)

Transportation. In following DOT regulations, a urine drug screen
may also be performed.
Medical Surveillance

physicals to meet OSHA regulations. These examinations include the
components of the pre-placement exam, along with the medical reports
of moderate medical complexity and may include pulmonary function
tests, audiograms, chest x-rays and laboratory tests.
Executive Physicals
Comprehensive examinations combine traditional diagnostic components
with state-of-the-art research in preventive medicine. Appropriate
protocols are added based on the individual's medical and family
history.
Custom Designed Physicals
Occupational Medicine staff design physical examinations to meet the
specific requirements of any company. These requirements may include
pulmonary function tests, drug screenings, EKGs, audiograms,
laboratory tests or ancillary tests.
Fitness for Duty Evaluation
An Occupational Medicine physician will provide an evaluation to
determine if the individual has the necessary physical capacities to
perform the essential components of his/her job. Individuals may be
on workers' compensation, long-term disability or medical leave.
Lifting/Strength Screens
Strength and/or work simulation activities are designed to determine
if a job applicant has the necessary physical capabilities to
perform the essential components of a job. A pre-placement screen is
strongly recommended for those individuals applying for jobs that
are associated with significant physical demands.
