The Importance of Regular Health Screenings for NYC Employees

Regular health screenings are more than just a routine check-up, they’re a powerful tool for preventing problems before they arise in your workforce. For NYC employers, they provide a proactive approach to workplace safety and employee health. By identifying hidden conditions, spotting early signs of illness, and addressing substance use issues, these screenings help keep your workforce safe and productive.

Minimize Workplace Incidents & Injury

Accidents can happen in any workplace, from a corporate office to a construction site. They are also on the rise, with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting a 7.5% increase in workplace injury and illness in 2022, rising to over 2.8 million cases.

Regular employee health screenings help identify health issues that could contribute to workplace accidents, such as vision problems, hearing impairments, or conditions like high blood pressure that could lead to sudden medical events. By identifying potential risks early, employers can take proactive steps to address them. This could mean adjusting work duties, providing additional training, or ensuring that employees receive the medical care they need to stay safe and productive. 

Healthier employees lead to fewer workplace incidents, reduced downtime, and a safer, more productive environment for everyone. With Mobile Health, employers can schedule employee biometric screening, hearing testing, vision screening, and other employee screening services to stay informed on employee health and potential workplace risks. Keep your workplace safe with our occupational health services.

Detect Employee Drug & Alcohol Use

Drug and alcohol use in the workplace is not only illegal but can also be dangerous. Employees under the influence are more likely to make mistakes, cause accidents, or injure themselves and others. In fact, about 10 percent of workplace deaths involve workers under the influence of drugs or alcohol. With over 70% of people experiencing substance abuse issues maintaining employment, it is easy to see why this should be a concern for employers.

Regular employee screenings help employers identify and address substance use issues before they escalate into serious problems. Mobile Health is New York’s preferred employee drug and alcohol testing provider, offering accurate and reliable rapid and lab-based drug and alcohol testing that ensures your workplace remains safe and compliant.
