OccuAid’s medical surveillance is risk-based

Our expertise in occupational health services helps our clients by allowing them to place employees in the correct working environment, thereby decreasing risk and improving productivity.

We base our our medical surveillance on the following risk criteria:

Physical

Chemical

Biological

Ergonomical

Psycho-social

These examinations include an occupational history of the employee, a general medical questionnaire, specialised questionnaires specific to the job, and physical examinations and tests relevant to the exposures the employee may experience at work – such as noise, dust, radiation, vapours, fumes, vibrations, heat, cold, heights, and others.

OccuAid consists of a highly qualified experienced team of occupational health and medical practitioners using hi-tech equipment. 

We offer our services on our premises or on-site according to our clients needs with a certificate of fitness available on completion of the examination.

Our occupational health services comply with the South African Occupational Health and Safety Act no. 85 of 1993.

We keep current and up to date on all legislation and changes in the industry. This helps to keep our clients compliant and enhances their health and safety programs and audits.
