Audiometric Testing
Audiometric testing is most commonly used in safety-sensitive industries when an employee is exposed to loud noises in which hearing loss or impairment could occur. According to OSHA’s hearing conservation program, employers must monitor noise exposure levels for those exposed to noise at or above 85 decibels (dB) averaged over 8 working hours, or an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA). It’s imperative that employers with employees in such working conditions monitor their hearing over time to ensure their safety and implement an audiometric testing program in the workplace. When establishing and maintaining an audiometric testing program, employers must include baseline audiograms, annual audiograms, training, and follow-up procedures.
Physical Abilities Exam Functional Capacity Evaluation
A Physical Abilities Exam assesses an individual’s ability to perform work activities. This can be following an injury or illness or determining the individual’s ability to adequately perform the functions that the job will require. If an employee gets injured on the job, they may be required to undergo an FCE, either by the company or their attorney. Depending on the industry, some jobs require more labor strenuous activities and it’s vital that employers determine if an employee can safely perform what is being asked of them without damage to their health.

Respiratory Testing
Depending on the industry, an employee might be exposed to dangerous toxins, chemicals, etc. in safety-sensitive positions requiring them to wear a respirator. To ensure the safety of the employee and their health in this environment, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), state-level OSHA, and other agencies, require employees to complete a respirator fit test, along with a medical evaluation before their first time wearing one on the job. The medical evaluation can be done by using a MEQ (medical evaluation questionnaire) or a physical exam that obtains the same info as an MEQ. This ensures that the respirator fits the person wearing it, while also ensuring they are in overall good health to perform the job tasks. At the end of the day, if a respirator doesn’t fit, then it’s not going to adequately protect the person wearing it.
Respirator Fit Tests
For any employee required to use a tight-fitted respirator while on the job, a respirator fit-test will help identify if a respirator fits to their face to properly seal and protect their health. Respirators that aren’t fitted properly simply won’t protect the employee, which could lead to them inhaling harmful chemicals, vapors, particles, etc. This is an essential step in implementing safety measures in the workplace and ensures that your employees will remain safe and healthy while working in a safety-sensitive position.

MRO Services
A Medical Review Officer (MRO) is a licensed physician, with special training, responsible for reviewing lab test results from an employer’s drug testing program. The MRO must have knowledge about the pharmacology and toxicology of prescription and illicit drugs, as well as federal agency drug-testing regulations and guidelines. The MRO’s primary duty is to monitor and determine lab test results, including medical explanations for laboratory-confirmed positives, adulterated, substituted, and invalid drug test results. Additionally, they must ensure the timeliness and accuracy of drug test results to the employer while maintaining the utmost confidentiality.
Blood Work
In occupational health, routine blood work is important to help detect common illnesses and sometimes life-threatening diseases before symptoms arise that are 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.
Injury Care
Accidents can happen, and when there’s an injury on the job, DISA has the occupational health care professionals to help your employees get the medical care they need. The success of your company depends on the health and wellbeing of your employees, especially with safety-sensitive positions.
