Purpose Jefferson Lab's Occupational Medicine Department provides a variety of occupational health services, medical monitoring, wellness-related services, and training. They assist with medical emergencies, provide first-aid treatment, and coordinate referrals to qualified off-site providers. All of these services are provided at no cost to employees and with strict medical confidentiality.
ScopeProcedures for this program comply with:
All new employees undergo an initial medical examination, which provides baseline health information and determines fitness for duty. Individuals exposed to certain hazard issues (e.g., high noise, radiation, welding, oxygen deficiency) also undergo periodic, routine medical monitoring. Users exposed to certain hazard issues will also undergo periodic, routine medical monitoring. NOTE: Individuals under the age of 18 are not allowed to work with hazard issues and are not offered medical monitoring.
All services provided on-site are at no cost to employees. Those who decline required services are responsible for providing Occupational Medicine with comparable medical examination documentation from an outside medical facility. These independent examinations must align with Jefferson Lab protocols. Forms and other requirements are obtained from Occupational Medicine, which is located in Building 28 (SSC) and can be contacted by calling ext. 7539.
