Occupational health care
Occupational health care is about preventing injuries and illnesses through timely early detection and counseling of your employees. Targeted examinations can support this counseling. Generally, your employees return to your company motivated and with greater knowledge after the screening.

Preventive Health Checks

Preventive health checks in occupational medicine serve to recognise work-related health risks at an early stage. Regular health checks allow potential health problems to be identified at an early stage and preventative measures to be taken. These examinations promote the health of employees and help to prevent work-related illnesses. They are carried out at regular intervals depending on the risk factors and area of activity.

Occupational medical suitability

Fitness-for-work assessments evaluate the health suitability of an employee for certain professional activities. These mandatory examinations ensure that the physical and mental requirements of a position are compatible with the employee's state of health. They are necessary when taking on new tasks or changing positions and serve to ensure the safety and well-being of employees in the workplace.
