Urgent care clinics are increasingly involved in providing occupational medicine services for corporate clients.
​Urgent care clinics are increasingly involved in providing occupational medicine services for corporate clients. Medical surveillance examinations, as required by OSHA, are an important part of these services. One of the more common medical surveillance exams involves the clinical clearance of workers prior to the use of respirators, which are required when working in an environment with potential airborne hazards. A mandatory OSHA questionnaire must be reviewed. After review of the patient’s medical history, other exams or testing such as spirometry may be needed. Most clinicians may not be not familiar with the potential adverse effects of respirator use in patients with preexisting comorbidity. Moreover, many other factors must be considered when evaluating these workers. Dr Don Herip, an expert in the field, will explain all you need to know about this specialized exam process and the associated decision-making.
