Blood Work

Ensure Employee Health with Routine Bloodwork
 

In occupational health, routine blood work is crucial for detecting common illnesses and sometimes life-threatening diseases before symptoms arise due to hazardous exposures. Annual blood work also helps to determine if an individual has or is developing a condition, such as diabetes, that could affect their ability to work. Depending on the industry, some safety-sensitive positions require blood work along with a physical exam to determine if the employee is physically fit.

Blood tests can be taken periodically during physicals to address and monitor potential health issues and exposures, ensuring that your employees remain healthy throughout their employment. DISA’s blood tests provide vital data that can help save employees’ lives and potentially reduce health care costs.

Bloodwork also provides employers with insight into the safety of their workplace. If an employee is exposed to hazardous chemicals, metals, or other substances while on the job, this can be reflected in their results, helping employers determine if they are at risk or being exposed to a workplace hazard. For example, heavy metals can result in a high metallic measurement in the blood, while Organochlorine Insecticides can be detected through your Complete Blood Count (CBC).
