    What is Occupational Health?

    By Danielle Olipra | Comments are Closed | 16 August, 2022 0

    An effective occupational health program saves companies money in lost time, unnecessary medical care, and workers’ compensation claims, while also improving the health and wellbeing of employees by treating work-related injuries and illnesses onsite. Medcor provides cost-effective,  custom occupational health solutions to ensure a safe and healthy working environment. 

    Occupational Health Meaning and Objectives According the World Health Organization (WHO)

    According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the purpose of occupational health is to promote and maintain the highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations. Medcor’s services help fulfill those objectives with a customized occupational health solution that can include: 

    Clinics 

    Onsite clinics are a game-changer when it comes to work related injuries. When an employee is injured on the job, they can get appropriate care without leaving work or going to an offsite medical center. This saves time, hassle and money. Having a clinic onsite also promotes health and wellness with preventive care like physicals and flu shots, creating a safer and healthier environment for all your workers.

    Triage/Telehealth 

    Injury triage helps injured or ill workers get the right care at the right time and in the right place. Optional telemedicine service gives you access to Medcor’s physicians for the best care recommendations.

    Health Security 

    Medcor’s Health Security division was developed during the COVID-19 pandemic and companies engage Medcor to keep their workplaces safe from infectious illness.

    Safety 

    Safety services, including industry-specific training and providing safety staff for complex construction projects keep your workforce safe, preventing injuries, OSHA violations, and workers’ compensation claims.

    Areas of Occupational Health

    Workplace Safety

    Employee health and safety go hand-in-hand. Safety services including site-specific training help keep your workforce productive and prevent on-the-job injuries. Your worksites will be safer with Medcor.

    Workplace Injuries

    When workplace injuries happen, Medcor’s onsite clinics and telehealth services provide the best care recommendations. Getting an injured employee the right care at the right time will always save money and hassle.
