Instrumental examinations in occupational medicine<\/b> are medical checkups to which workers are compulsorily subjected to verify their health conditions and thus ascertain their fitness for work.<\/span><\/p>\n

The examinations are requested by the competent physician and carried out by means of certain “instruments,” hence the name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s see together what they are and what they are about.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instrumental examinations in occupational medicine: what they are about<\/span><\/h2>\n

Instrumental examinations in occupational medicine<\/b> are mandatory and are performed periodically. If the doctor in charge deems it appropriate, the frequency may vary according to the worker’s health status: in fact, in case of suspicions related to the worker’s health condition, he may intervene by requesting in-depth examinations.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other cases, however, instrumental examinations<\/b> have specific cadences at which they are necessarily performed:<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span> <\/span>upon hiring the worker, to verify suitability for the assigned task;<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span> <\/span>at the change of job, to verify that the worker is fit to perform the new work activity (which may present new risks compared to the previous one);<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span> <\/span>when new machinery is introduced;<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span> <\/span>upon the worker’s return when he or she has been absent for a long period;<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span> <\/span>to the worker’s request because he presents work-related discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n

This organization gives the opportunity to conduct proper health surveillance in order to protect the health of workers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The employer in the case of unsuitability for the task performed by the worker must assign him a new task or act with suitable safety measures to limit the risks to which he is subjected as much as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instrumental examinations in occupational medicine: what are they?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Examples of instrumental examinations in <\/b>occupational medicine <\/b>include:<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span> <\/span>the spirometry examination:<\/b> this is required to check the airway and is performed by inhaling and exhaling acts following the pulmonologist’s instructions;<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span> <\/span>audiometric examination:<\/b> <\/span>is aimed at checking the health of the worker’s auditory system and is performed through headphones in a soundproof environment;<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span> <\/span>the ergophthalmological examination:<\/b> this examination is related to the health status of the ocular system, targeted especially at workers who perform work in front of monitors and video screens;<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span> <\/span>
\n the E.C.G. examination (<\/b>
\n<\/span>electrocardiogram):<\/b> is an examination aimed at monitoring the health of the cardiovascular system, it is performed by means of electrodes that are attached to the worker’s chest;<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span> <\/span>drug test:<\/b> this is an examination by which it can be checked whether the worker is using addictive substances or drugs that may jeopardize his or her lucidity at work.<\/span><\/p>\n

The professional who requires such examinations is the competent physician: it is his discretion to require a specific examination based on the insights to be verified about the worker’s health status.<\/span><\/p>\n

The occurrence of occupational diseases in the workplace is becoming increasingly common.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instrumental examinations in occupational medicine<\/b> can save a life: acting early ensures the protection of worker health and consequently the continued productivity of companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2949,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-occupational-medicine"],"yoast_head":"\nInstrumental examinations in occupational medicine » Servizi Synergos<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Instrumental examinations in occupational medicine are medical checks to which workers are compulsorily subjected.
