Occupational Health Tests – Toledo, OH

Workplace occupational health plans are crucial for employers to provide safe and healthy workplaces for their employees and remain compliant with occupational health laws. Employees are entitled to a safe workplace, free of recognizable hazards, and it's their employer's job to ensure their safety. In Toledo, occupational health services include vaccination and titer testing (antibody testing), respiratory health exams, tuberculosis (TB) screening, TB skin tests, biometric screenings, pre-employment and employment physical examinations, vision and hearing screening, and proper safety education and job training. For workplace occupational health services and regulations, employers must remove identifiable hazards when possible and provide safe working conditions, properly functioning equipment, and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).

Toledo workplace health plans in private-sector workplaces are governed by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) since Ohio does not have its own federally-approved state plan. Ohio has adopted most of the federal OSHA standards for public employers, with some unique requirements. OSHA's purpose is to ensure the compliance of employers with the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, also known as the OSH Act. The act makes certain that all employees have safe and healthy working conditions by enforcing standards and providing training, outreach, education, and assistance. OSHA is part of the United States Department of Labor and covers private-sector workplaces, with some exceptions. Employers must become familiar with federal, state, and Toledo occupational health laws.
