5 Benefits of Mobile Medical Testing
The human element of your business is, in fact, one of its greatest strengths. Having employees that are efficient, passionate, loyal, and healthy can take your business from average to amazing in a very short time. For this reason companies are choosing to focus on their employees’ health, providing ways to promote better lifestyles and better medical choices that will benefit everyone.

One of these ways is health screening. Many organisations use employee health screening to help their employees identify potential health problems early, and prevent missed work and expensive medical procedures down the road. By making these screens a part of their job, and even tying them to incentive programs, employers have been able to foster an environment of health for all employees.

How can a mobile medical unit help? A mobile medical unit can do the screenings onsite without disruption to your workforce, in a safe convenient controlled manor. Your employees simply need to step into a designated meeting room, go through the screening, and then they can get right back to their duties.

Mobile medical companies often perform the following care:
- Medical Screening
- Respiratory Protection
- Drug / Alcohol Testing
- Hearing conservation
- Medical Surveillance
- Health Consultation and Training
- Online Respirator Medical Clearance
In many cases, these services can keep your business compliant with Occupation health and safety requirements. But there are benefits beyond simply keeping your business running smoothly when you choose to work with a mobile medical company. Consider these important pros that mobile medical companies can offer your employees and you:

1. Less Substance Abuse

While it’s hard for law-abiding citizens to fathom, it’s not that difficult to fake a drug test when you are able to prepare ahead of time. There are many tools and techniques available that help employees keep their jobs and their habits, that are used every day. If an employee is sent to an external location for health services, they have the time, away from supervision, to prepare for the chance of a drug screening.

But when you make random drug testing a part of your health screening through a mobile medical service, no employee can be prepared to give a false sample. They’ll come to work thinking it’s a normal day, and the medical service will be right there waiting to get started. This is a good way for employers to ensure that drug testing is accurate.

Regular drug tests, done at random intervals, can help make your workplace safer and more efficient. Substance abusers are more likely to skip work, come to work late, make poor decisions while on the job, and have impaired motor skills. Not only do these issues create an unsafe environment for your other workers, they also present higher costs in medical coverage and premiums.

2. Keep Your Contracts

Imagine that you’ve just received a major contract and you need to take several steps to ensure that your job site and employees are meeting all the required standards. One of the risks of sending your employees to get those regulated screenings and drug tests is that you’ll have to go to great lengths to ensure that you choose a facility that follows the legally required standards specific to your industry.

Or, you can choose a mobile medical company, who will come to your job site, ensure that all testing is done to the correct standards, and help you keep your important contracts. Not only will you be assured that you’ve chosen a service that meets industry regulations, you also keep your employees moving efficiently on the job, because you don’t have to transport them to another site, or have them leave the job site, in order to get these screenings done. The more efficiently you can work on a major contract, the more likely you are to get another in the future. This helps grow your business, making you and your employees more money.

3. Cut Out Overtime

If you, like so many other employers, struggle to keep one of your biggest expenses being payroll to manageable levels, then you know that overtime is one of your biggest problems. Sending employees to get screening while on the clock is almost a guaranteed path to overtime. Not only do you have to pay for the time it takes them to get the screening, but you are likely also paying for the time it takes them to drive to and from the appointment, and the time it takes them to make up the work they missed when they were at the appointment.

4. Create a Workplace that Attracts Employees

More than ever, employees are interested in workplaces that are just as focused on sustaining happy, healthy employees as they are on productivity. Employees want to know that you are just as invested in them as they are in your business. By having mobile medical services on site to perform health screenings, you make it very convenient for your employees to stay on top of their health. This is something that many employees would be very grateful for, and it presents a picture of an employer who understands their motivations and is willing to help them create a workforce that works with their needs.

As word gets out that you care about your employees, you’ll attract the best applicants, who are truly driven and productive, and could have their pick of jobs based on previous experience or education. You’ll get these top employees because you’ve created a workplace that they want to spend their time in, because they know that their health and wellbeing is a priority.

In fact, many mobile health services can process large volumes all at once, setting up multiple stations with a large medical staff to get potential employees through the process in groups. Think of it like the military – whole ranks of people being moved very quickly through standard procedures so that work can begin. Mobile medical services have the experience necessary to perform exactly this type of action.

5. Gain Access to the Most State-of-the-Art Equipment

Your employees local hospital or clinic may not be outfitted with the most up-to-date medical equipment or training. A mobile medical service can offer state-of-the-art testing, performed with the most modern equipment. This gives your employees better information about their health, providing you with a clearer picture of which employees would be best for which jobs, and helps your insurance provider offer you the best rates.

Choosing the right mobile medical service is the key for this final benefit. Be sure that you carefully consider their services, and ask about the equipment that they use. They should be able to explain that they rely on the best training and the best equipment to get fast, accurate results.

Just by choosing to include this one service in your business, you can completely shift the environment and the people who work in it. If you’ve been looking for a way to save money, or you need to totally refresh your workforce and workplaces, this is a great change to implement.

Why Your Business Needs Up-To-Date Occupational Medicals

If you have been wondering why occupational medicals are important for your business, we’re here to tell you. Carrying out regular medical tests and surveillance at work is not just a wise thing to do because the Occupational Health and Safety Act legally requires employers to do so. While being compliant with the law is an important motivating factor, it’s not the only one. Other important reasons to ensure that your employees’ occupational medicals are up to date is to guarantee minimal downtime for your business and to protect the wellbeing of your staff. Your workforce is the beating heart of your business and without its health and strength, your business’s full potential will simply not be reached.

Medicals can come in many varieties and forms. Whether you need medical testing done on the move, fit-for-duty tests carried out, or even risk-based medical surveillance done, we can assist you. Medical testing and monitoring can be offered for pre-placement situations, as well as for exit situations and ongoing employment. The point is not to rid the workplace of those who are negatively impacted by the working environment; it is to ensure that employees are provided with the correct safety mechanisms to protect their health and to ensure ongoing, long-term employment with the business. It’s a win-win for all parties involved.

When opting for occupational medicals to be carried out, they can be done at the providing company’s premises, or on-site at your own (which is often preferred in work environments where downtime can quickly have a detrimental effect on productivity). It’s best to choose a company that is recognised in your area, and that has the experience, specialised equipment and medical professionals available to carry out testing and monitoring, and to translate the information gathered professionally and accurately.

At FITMed24, we offer medical testing and surveillance services to companies operating in all industries. Our equipment, which is well maintained, is SABS approved and holds international accreditation, while also adhering to international standards with the relevant authorities. In order for your occupational medicals to be of value to your company, you need to have them carried out correctly, with the right equipment and the best, qualified professionals. At FITMed24, you are guaranteed of exactly that.

If you would like to learn more about the process involved in carrying out occupational medicals or would like to book one of our services with us, kindly contact us.

The Scope of Occupational Health Services

The role of those responsible for ensuring health and safety in the workplace, now commonly described as industrial hygiene, is to identify potential hazards and to institute measures to ensure that any threat posed to workers is eliminated or kept within acceptable limits. By contrast, the focus of occupational health services is more about establishing the fitness of a worker to perform his or her designated tasks. Not to be confused with proficiency testing, in this case, it is the physical suitability of an employee to undertake a given task that these services are intended to evaluate.

The conditions under which workers are required to perform can vary quite widely, and part of ensuring their health and safety at work is to make quite certain that they are physically equipped to handle those conditions. For example, should an employer wish to hire staff to work in a food processing plant, the role of an occupational health services specialist would be to examine the prospective employees for any evidence that one of them could be a symptomless carrier of E.coli or some other potential gastrointestinal pathogen.

In a similar vein, imagine the consequences of hiring a construction worker who, at some stage. is required to work on the upper level of a high-rise building, should that worker fall and become seriously injured or worse. A straightforward mistake due to carelessness would be bad enough, but what if that worker experienced severe vertigo and lost balance? It is precisely to prevent occurrences, such as this, that occupational health services are available to employers. In this case, failure to spot that a prospective employee was a victim of Meniere’s disease could leave an employer exposed to costly legal action. In this respect, these services are as much a source of protection for employers as they are for employees.

Speaking of industrial compensation claims, one of the greatest benefits available to any employer is to have a record of each employee’s state of health from the point at which he or she joined the company to his or her date of departure, If, for example, a departing employee should claim to have developed noise-induced hearing loss on the job, the records kept by an occupational health services company could prove unequivocally that the claimant’s hearing was no worse than when he or she was first employed.

Fitness for work will often be taken for granted when an employee returns to work following an injury or a bout of illness. Once again, should this prove untrue, there could be serious consequences. This is yet another example of how occupational health services protect workers and employers across South Africa.

Employee Medicals
What are the Benefits of Employee Medicals? It is a business owner’s moral and legal obligation to provide employees with medical care and monitoring when they work in a potentially dangerous or volatile environment. Employee medicals are essential in many industries, but they can also be disruptive to business productivity if they aren’t properly planned and processed. Hiring a professional on-site medical company can eliminate some of the pitfalls. Below are a few reasons why you shouldn’t skimp on your employee medicals.
- It’s a life or death situation
  Employee medicals and health monitoring can ensure that issues are picked up early on. This could mean the difference between life and death for your employees, and it can also save you money on future healthcare costs.
- A healthy workforce is a present workforce
  Absenteeism can be a serious profit-drainer for a business, especially if temporary staff members have to be brought in to help out. If your staff members are treated early on for potential health issues, absenteeism won’t be a major concern for you. Employee medicals can be carried out on site via a mobile clinic, which means that having tests carried out won’t negatively affect the employee.
- Profits will rise
  Healthy employees will be far more productive than those with illnesses or injuries. A sick employee will become increasingly less productive as time passes and their illness develops. If you want to protect your profits and productivity, protect the health and ongoing wellbeing of your employees.
- Your workforce will be more satisfied
  Employees who constantly worry about their health status will be distracted and unmotivated. If you want to boost morale and ensure that the workplace is enveloped in a positive atmosphere, provide your workforce with peace of mind. Ongoing medical check-ups will provide staff members with certainty and will in turn boost morale in the workplace. Satisfied employees are generally more dedicated to the company and will be loyal team members.
- Leave the management and implementation of health regulations to the pros
  All business owners have a lot on their plates. It will prove difficult to handle all daily tasks, as well as keep up to date with the latest health data affecting your particular industry. Occupational medical service providers make it their duty to keep up to date with the health and safety regulations that affect your industry. With the help of such a company, your business can always be up to date with health data and regulations.
Sending your employees to see a medical practitioner will be a logistical nightmare. Mobile clinics offering employee medicals are the ultimate solution for both large and small corporations. At FITMed24, we bring the mobile clinic to you. Your employees will not have to stress about the process or spend valuable time and money on getting to and from the doctor/medical team.

Learning more about what to expect during employee medicals is as simple as getting in touch with us at FITMed24. We encourage you to send us an email or give us a call to discuss your needs and requirements.

How Occupational Health Affects Workers, Employers, and the Economy

With few exceptions, for millennia, it has been the practice of employers to assign precedence to profits while giving little or no thought to the cost borne by employees in their efforts to meet their, often unrealistic, production targets. Periodically, it became evident that some workers, such as miners, might be exposed to hazards that could impede their productivity and, the Ancient Greeks, for example, responded by issuing crude masks to limit the inhalation of dust. Even the industrial revolution did little to change employers’ attitudes, and legislation governing occupational health and safety was not introduced until the latter half of the twentieth century.

While earlier acts aimed to protect workers in selected fields like mining and construction, only in 1994 did South Africa introduce an act that applied to all workers and obliged employers to adopt measures to protect them. Today, the employer’s responsibility is mainly to identify possible hazards and implement measures to eliminate or minimise them, failing which, they must provide workers with effective protection. Occupational health measures, however, should not be restricted to preventative measures. Though not yet a legal requirement, performing regular medical examinations of workers to ensure they have not been affected by such hazards has some important benefits.

In practice, the lesson that those employers of the past failed to learn was that the cost of keeping their employees healthy can be recouped almost immediately, purely as a result of their greater productivity. In addition, a healthy workforce means less money spent on unproductive, paid sick leave. Putting profits before occupational health concerns can, in fact, be more likely to lead to losses.

Statistics suggest that absenteeism in South Africa is currently costing the nation’s economy something between R12 and R15 billion every year. The figures arise from the combined cost of paying the wages of absentees, hiring, and perhaps training temporary staff to replace them or paying overtime to existing employees for filling in. It is less obvious when the quality of goods or services is compromised by staff shortages, which further underlines the widespread importance of occupational health services.

Liability is yet another challenge faced by employers. In recent years, claims arising from work-related conditions, such as silicosis and asbestosis have been overtaken by those from workers affected by excessive noise in the workplace. Many of these are likely to be spurious, but only the evidence of periodic audiograms conducted as part of an occupational health programme could confirm or preclude the possibility of fraud. Without such evidence, a seasoned industrial injury lawyer will require little more than proof of his or her clients’ currently impaired ability to hear and a noisy working environment, to substantiate a claim. Such possibilities provide yet another compelling reason for an employer to consider this option.

It is not unreasonable to claim that the responsibility for their health should rest with the individual, but, where there is a risk of work-related illness, it is in the interest of employers to ensure that this responsibility is fulfilled. To assist them, FITMed24 offers a comprehensive occupational health plan that includes a number of free, but valuable benefits for participating companies, and is the first organisation of its kind in South Africa to do so.

The Importance of Occupational Health

What is Occupational Health? Anyone who is employed will know that the job can get on top of one at times. However, it may not be the job itself or any lack of knowledge or experience that is the problem, but rather that you simply lack the physical qualities required to perform certain of the tasks required. The science of occupational health (OH) was born as a result of health and safety legislation governing the management of potential hazards in the workplace. While the legislation proposed the introduction of measures to protect workers from such hazards, this invaluable spin-off of the Health and Safety at Work Act is intended to measure the fitness of individuals to perform their various assigned tasks.

For example, someone with respiratory problems should not be working in an environment where sawdust or cement particles are constantly present in the air, even if provided with a protective mask. Likewise, that same employee could be at risk if consistently required to lift heavy items. Examination by an occupational health specialist can quickly expose such inadequacies and ensure that those affected are allocated tasks that they are physically capable of doing.

For several years now, this type of examination has been seen as a valuable addition to the conventional selection process. In addition to the usual reference checks, psychometric tests, and face-to-face interview, many prospective employers are now choosing to include a medical examination, more specifically, an examination of the type conducted by an occupational health specialist. These are essentially a means by which to gauge whether a candidate has the level and type of physical fitness seen as necessary to cope with the physical demands of the job rather than merely possessing an appropriate qualification and a glowing reference.

These procedures are thorough and can be tailored according to the specific needs of the given industry whilst containing elements that remain common to all. Furthermore, the value of this particular type of occupational health service is not confined to recruitment. Anyone who is engaged in a physically demanding task, for a protracted period, carries the risk of an injury or illness that might require time off from work. For these individuals, an OH specialist will be far better qualified to determine whether or not they are fit to return to work than the average GP who will probably have little knowledge regarding the physical demands posed by the patient’s job.

Despite the importance of these medicals, this is only one of the services provided by occupational health specialists. In addition to being called upon to conduct TB and HIV screening programmes, they also play an important educational role. For example, companies are required by law to ensure that adequate first aid facilities are available to their staff. The kit alone, without the knowledge and experience needed to utilise it, would be of little benefit, and so, these specialists also undertake to provide all of the professional first aid training required.

In order to gain employment as an occupational health practitioner, the doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who choose this option must undergo a course of specialised training, gain a recognised OH qualification, and be granted official accreditation before they are permitted to dispense their professional services.
