A missed interval is an audit finding

Exposure-driven medical surveillance where the hard part is not the exam — it is running the schedule so nobody comes due without anyone noticing.

Compliance

The standards this work falls under

These are the federal standards that most commonly drive exam requirements for this sector. Your own exposure assessment and client contracts decide which apply to a given classification.

ProgramStandardInterval
Benzene29 CFR 1910.1028At assignment, then periodically per the standard
Respirable crystalline silica29 CFR 1910.1053Initial, then at the interval the standard sets
Lead29 CFR 1910.1025Driven by blood lead levels
Asbestos29 CFR 1910.1001Initial, then annually while exposed
Respiratory protection29 CFR 1910.134Clearance before first use; fit test annually
Hearing conservation29 CFR 1910.95Baseline at entry, then annually
Hazardous waste operations29 CFR 1910.120Baseline, annually while assigned, and at termination
Protocol

Surveillance built off your exposure assessment

We do not guess at which programs apply. Send the exposure assessment and the affected classifications, and the protocol comes back matched to them.

Exposure and occupational historyDocumented at program entry and updated at each periodic exam, covering past as well as current work.

Interval tracking and recallWe keep the schedule off your roster and flag who is coming due, rather than waiting for you to ask.
Program

On lab work: MedCare is a specimen collection site for Quest Diagnostics and Abbott Toxicology. Specimens are collected here or at your site and processed through their national networks. If you already hold a Quest or Abbott account, results can be routed to it — give us the account number when the protocol is set up.

How we work

The schedule is the deliverable

Any clinic can run an exam. What keeps you out of trouble is knowing who is due, when, under which standard, and having the file to show it happened.

  • Intervals tracked and recalls scheduled off your roster
  • Consistent file format across every employee
  • Written reports for the surveillance file after each exam
  • On-site collection during turnarounds
  • Bilingual questionnaires and instructions
  • Consolidated employer invoicing

Send the exposure assessment

We will map it to the standards that apply, tell you the intervals, and quote the protocol per employee.
