Pre-Employment Physicals: Foundation for Workplace Safety

Comprehensive pre-employment evaluations help ensure new hires can safely perform essential job functions. Our thorough assessments include:

• Complete medical history review and physical examination
• Job-specific fitness evaluations tailored to position requirements
• Vision and hearing tests appropriate for workplace demands
• Cardiovascular and respiratory assessments
• Musculoskeletal evaluation for physical demands
• Review of medications that might affect job performance

These evaluations help prevent workplace injuries, reduce liability exposure, and ensure employees can perform their duties safely from day one.

Immediate Workplace Injury Care

When workplace accidents occur, immediate professional treatment minimizes complications and facilitates faster recovery. Avamed Care treats:

• Lacerations, puncture wounds, and cuts requiring sutures
• Sprains, strains, and suspected fractures
• Burns from heat, chemicals, or electrical sources
• Eye injuries including foreign object removal
• Back injuries and repetitive stress conditions
• Allergic reactions and chemical exposures

Our no-appointment policy means injured employees receive prompt care, reducing lost work time and workers’ compensation costs. We provide detailed injury documentation required for insurance claims and regulatory reporting.
