Inova Programs for Prevention

Inova Occupational Health is as committed to preventing injury and illness as it is to restoring health.

Workplace safety
Every dollar you spend on the direct cost of a workplace injury incurs additional indirect costs:

• Reduced productivity and morale
• Expenses associated with hiring and training
• Equipment repair or replacement
• Missed revenue opportunities
• Increased workers' compensation premiums

While it may not be possible to prevent every on-the-job accident, a proactive approach can help. Tap your workers for safety improvement ideas. Take their suggestions and concerns seriously. Put feasible plans into practice. Follow up. And always treat a "near miss" as a warning to reevaluate safety measures and take steps to prevent a recurrence. Inova Occupational Health offers a variety of preventive programs for your workplace:

• Pre placement physicals structured for specific jobs
• Surveillance and worksite screening
• Jobsite analysis incorporating work conditions into job descriptions
• Injury prevention education
• Regulatory compliance
• OSHA respirator clearance exams
• Ergonomics and cumulative trauma disorders control
