Medical screening and medical surveillance are two fundamental strategies for optimizing employee health. Although the terms are often used interchangeably, they are quite distinct concepts.

Medical screening is, in essence, only one component of a comprehensive medical surveillance program. The fundamental purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment of the individual and thus has a clinical focus.

The fundamental purpose of surveillance is to detect and eliminate the underlying causes such as hazards or exposures of any discovered trends and thus has a prevention focus. Both can contribute significantly to the success of worksite health and safety programs.

Focus Workplace Ltd. offers Medical Surveillance programs for designated substances, hazardous conditions and to ensure the employees in safety sensitive positions are able to safely perform their tasks. We also provide surveillance programs for Hearing, Vision and Lung Functions.
