Holistic Occupational Health Assessment

Our Employee Health and Wellness Program encompasses a wide array of tests and evaluations to provide an all-encompassing assessment of employees’ health in their respective occupational settings. Through a combination of UDS’s expertise in medical assessments and an understanding of the challenges faced by employees, we ensure early detection and tailored interventions for optimal health. The key elements of our program include:

• Health Assessments: Our program begins with comprehensive health assessments, covering various parameters such as blood pressure, body composition, and medical history. These assessments provide insights into employees’ overall health, identify potential risks, and address existing health conditions that may impact their performance and well-being.
• Cardiorespiratory Fitness Evaluations: Given the demands of various occupations, cardiorespiratory fitness is crucial. Our program includes rigorous assessments of aerobic capacity and exercise stress tests, offering insights into employees’ fitness levels. These evaluations inform personalized fitness plans to enhance cardiovascular health and overall performance.
• Occupational Health Monitoring: To ensure sustained well-being, our program integrates regular health monitoring, including wellness screenings and medical assessments. This proactive approach tracks changes in health status, identifies potential risks associated with occupational exposure, and ensures timely interventions for sustained health.
• Specialized Medical Screenings: Our program offers a range of targeted medical screenings designed for employees in different professions. These screenings include evaluations for respiratory health, vision and hearing assessments, blood tests for key health markers, and lung and chest X-rays. Early detection through these screenings aids in preemptive measures and appropriate medical interventions.
