Albuquerque Occupational Health Services
Albuquerque occupational health plans are crucial for employers to protect their workers from accidents and injuries and to remain compliant with workplace occupational health laws. Employees are entitled to a workplace free of recognizable hazards, and it’s the employer’s responsibility to develop workplace occupational health laws to ensure employees have access to safe and properly working equipment, the right training for the job, personal protective equipment, and vaccines to preventable diseases they may have exposure to in the workplace. In Albuquerque, occupational health services also include respiratory health screening, vision and hearing testing, titer testing (antibody testing), physical examinations, TB skin testing, and respirator fit testing.
Albuquerque occupational health includes the New Mexico State Plan, which was initially approved in 1975. Part of the New Mexico Environment Department, The New Mexico Occupational Health and Safety Bureau (OSHB) applies to all private-sector workplaces, with some exceptions that include maritime workers and contract workers with the United States Postal Service (USPS). The plan also applies to local and state government employers but not federal government employers. These employees are covered by federal OSHA regulations.
Albuquerque occupational health regulations are a part of New Mexico OSHA (NM OSHA), which has adopted all federal OSHA regulations, with some additional standards.

Albuquerque Antibody Testing
The COVID-19 Antibody Test checks for antibodies in a person’s blood that protect against SARS-CoV-2. Use this test to determine if Albuquerque employees have previously recovered from COVID-19 or received a COVID-19 vaccine.
Hepatitis A infections can be spread via water, food, and close contact with individuals who are infected. Although it can be prevented by vaccination, people who are not vaccinated against Hepatitis A and do not have the antibodies to protect against this virus may be at risk for liver infections. If proof of Hepatitis A immunity is required for an employer in Albuquerque, this antibody test can be ordered.
Individuals who do not have antibodies that protect against Hepatitis B may be at risk for serious or even fatal liver infection. This virus can be contracted from bodily fluids, such as blood or semen. The Hepatitis B Antibody Test can determine if a person has immunity against this virus.
Similar to Hepatitis A and B, Hepatitis C infections can also result in complications with the liver. Hepatitis C infection is spread via blood, and therefore is most often a result of using contaminated equipment (such as needles). For people who need proof of Hepatitis C immunity or are unsure of their vaccination status, the Hepatitis C Antibody Test can detect the appropriate antibodies in the blood.
Left untreated, some hepatitis infections can cause liver damage, inflammation, and other serious health complications. The below bundle tests a person’s blood for immunity against all three types of hepatitis viruses.
MMR antibody testing is used to determine if a person has immunity against measles, mumps, and rubella.
More commonly known as Chickenpox, the varicella-zoster virus is a highly contagious virus that can be easily spread via air, skin, saliva, and surfaces. Since infection or vaccination frequently occurs at a young age, individuals may be unsure of their vaccination status. This test can be used to confirm whether a person has antibodies against the varicella virus.
This is a package deal that covers a wide range of antibody testing, including varicella (Chickenpox), measles, mumps, rubella, and hepatitis B.
