Periodic Medicals

Employee health and wellness are vital to maintaining a safe, productive, and sustainable workplace.

Periodic Medicals are designed to monitor the ongoing health of workers—particularly those who may be exposed to hazardous substances, physically demanding tasks or high-risk environments. By scheduling regular checkups, employers can detect early signs of occupational illness or injury, intervene before conditions worsen and demonstrate a strong commitment to workforce well-being.

Mercer Safety’s Periodic Medicals are more than routine checkups—they are a proactive safeguard against the financial and emotional costs of workplace-related illness or injury.

Our health monitoring program not only protects workers but also reduces claims, lowers absenteeism and boosts overall productivity.

Assessments are tailored to the nature of your industry and workplace risks. Depending on exposure factors and job requirements, a Periodic Medical may include:

  • Audiometric testing to monitor noise exposure

  • Back and musculoskeletal assessments for physically demanding roles

  • Lung function tests (spirometry) to identify early respiratory issues

  • ECGs to monitor cardiac health

  • Screening for metals and other hazardous substances such as lead, asbestos and pesticides

  • Drug and alcohol screening to support substance-free workplaces

All physical testing, including sample collection, is conducted by our qualified healthcare professionals. Employers receive a clear, written report with findings and recommendations, ensuring they have the information needed to take proactive steps in protecting their workforce.

With Mercer Safety’s Periodic Medicals, your organization will:

  • Safeguard the long-term health of employees exposed to occupational risks

  • Identify health concerns early to prevent long-term complications

  • Reduce healthcare costs, compensation claims, and lost time

  • Demonstrate due diligence and compliance with OH&S regulations

  • Foster a healthier, safer, and more productive workforce

Periodic Medicals are not just compliance—they are an investment in your people.

Mercer Safety helps ensure your team remains healthy, safe, and ready for the work ahead.
