New York’s construction industry is demanding and full of challenges that require a workforce that is healthy, safe, and compliant. Keeping workers on-site and ensuring they meet OSHA and industry health standards is critical to keeping projects on schedule. On-site employee health screenings play a key role in achieving this goal, offering a convenient, cost-effective occupational health solution that minimizes downtime and maximizes efficiency for construction projects.
The Challenges of Construction Health & Compliance
Construction workers face a range of occupational health risks daily, including exposure to dust and chemicals, long hours of physical labor, and the dangers of operating heavy machinery. Over 1000 occupational injuries occur every year in the construction industry in the United States, and 19% of all US workers deaths occur in the construction industry, making it the most dangerous industry to work in.
Health and safety regulations require workers to meet strict compliance requirements, including pre-employment physicals, drug and alcohol testing, and regular screenings to prevent workplace illnesses and injuries.
While off-site medical exams are an essential part of workforce health management, they can sometimes require workers to leave the job site, which may affect scheduling. For construction projects with tight deadlines, balancing compliance with efficiency is key. On-site screenings provide a convenient alternative by bringing necessary health services directly to the job site, helping construction firms maintain productivity while ensuring workers meet OSHA and industry health standards.
The Solution is On-Site Health Screenings
The solution to this problem is on-site health screenings. Mobile Health brings the clinic directly to construction sites, making sure construction workers get the exams and tests they need without ever leaving the job. Whether it’s a parking lot, breakroom, or mobile unit, we transform any space into a fully functional occupational health clinic.
How On-Site Screenings Benefit NY Construction Projects
Minimizing Project Delays
Time is money in construction. When workers have to leave for medical screenings, productivity takes a hit. Mobile Health eliminates these disruptions by conducting essential screenings right on-site. Fast results mean workers can get back to work without unnecessary downtime.
Faster Onboarding & Compliance
Need to get new hires to work quickly? On-site pre-employment physicals and drug testing streamlines the hiring process. Instead of waiting days or weeks for clinic appointments, construction firms can get employees cleared for work in as little as 24-48 hours.
