How Medcor Helped Save a Data Center Project $1.4 million

A data center construction site with trucks and cranes.

Situation 

During the construction of a $2 billion data center, with over 1,000 workers onsite daily, this client needed a safety partner who could help reduce OSHA recordables, control costs and keep operations running smoothly. Given that construction workers face a 24% higher risk of injury than those in other industries, the stakes were high—they needed an experienced provider focused on protecting their workforce and ensuring everyone went home safe each day.

Solution 

To help achieve their goals of improved safety and reduced costs, this client partnered with Medcor to implement an onsite clinic staffed by a dedicated, highly skilled occupational health technician.

Workers gained immediate access to a range of medical services—without leaving the jobsite. Medcor’s onsite care included:

  • Prompt evaluation and treatment of work-related injuries
  • Onsite drug screening and health monitoring, including blood pressure checks
  • Fast, effective care that prevented unnecessary claims and offsite delays

The Impact

Over a 16-month period, Medcor treated 181 work-related injuries at the onsite clinic—171 of which (94%) were resolved without generating any claims, costs or OSHA recordables. Notably, all 10 lower back injuries—a category often tied to costly claims—were managed onsite with no escalations.

In addition to injury care, Medcor performed 1,378 onsite drug screens, supporting a substance-free worksite while avoiding offsite testing delays. These screenings alone saved an estimated 4,134 labor hours and thousands in productivity loss.

Altogether, the client achieved a 2:1 return on investment, avoiding approximately $1.4 million in workers’ compensation costs and saving over $51,000 in lost productivity.
