Las Vegas Occupational Health Services
Las Vegas occupational health plans are vital for employers to remain compliant with workplace occupational health laws and to ensure a safe and healthy work environment for their employees. Las Vegas occupational health services help to provide employers and employees with safe and working equipment, identify potential hazards, provide proper health and safety training, and offer examinations to determine that an employee can perform the job safely. Examinations include physical examinations, vision and hearing screening, respiratory fit testing, and tuberculosis (TB) screening. For some industries at high risk for disease exposure, such as healthcare, titer testing (antibody testing) or vaccinations may be required by Las Vegas occupational health regulations.
In 1974, Nevada adopted OSHA policies and developed a Nevada state plan, the Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Nevada OSHA). Nevada OSHA is part of the Division of Industrial Relations, Department of Business and Industry, and has a main office located in Las Vegas, NV. The plan applies to all private-sector workplaces, with a few exceptions that include maritime workers and contract workers in USPS operations. This plan applies to Las Vegas and state government workers, but not federal government employers. Nevada OSHA adopted most of federal OSHA’s standards and added its own unique standards for general industry and construction. The program offers voluntary and cooperative programs to reduce injuries, illnesses, and fatalities in the workplace.
Las Vegas occupational health services include the Nevada Safety Consultation and Training Section (SCATS). SCATS offers onsite health and safety consultation services to employers. The program helps employers to recognize hazards in the workplace, learn how to improve their health and safety programs, and train their employees in safe practices. SCATS assists in areas of hazard communication, energy control, electrical safety, emergency action, fire prevention, confined space, hearing conservation, respiratory protection, and bloodborne pathogens.

Las Vegas 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 Las Vegas 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 Las Vegas, 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.
