Medical Surveillance
Akeso will help your company identify hazardous trends before they become problems. We leverage our experience in hearing conservation, respiratory protection, bloodborne pathogens, and occupational exposure surveillance to ensure employees have what they need to stay safe.
Stress-free medical surveillance programs designed to protect employee health
Medical surveillance, as required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), is a program of medical examinations and tests designed to detect and monitor potential health effects from hazardous chemical or physical exposures in the workplace to enable early treatment or other steps to protect employee health. Medical surveillance is conducted in conjunction with other employer measures – such as workplace practices and engineering controls – to prevent occupational injury and illness.
Our medical professionals work with your company to create or review all medical protocols, policies, and procedures to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements.
Akeso can manage all aspects of your company’s Medical Surveillance Program, from online scheduling and reporting to electronic employee visit authorizations and centralized medical review, ensuring your employees stay compliant. Our expertise in providing unsurpassed occupational medicine services can help your company elevate workforce health and productivity, while reducing overall medical costs.
