Our medical assessment with Work Doctor Occupational Health includes a medical questionnaire as the first step. This may be followed by a more detailed assessment, which can include additional examinations and tests such as audiology, spirometry or skin checks. Once the assessment is complete, a fitness certificate is provided, which outlines your fitness for work, recommends any necessary adjustments or restrictions, and specifies the period until your next review.
FAQs About Mobile Chest X-Ray Services
What site preparation is required before the mobile X-ray unit arrives?
A: Very little. We only require a level, hard-standing parking area (such as a car park or yard) and a designated site contact to coordinate employee arrival times.
How quickly will our company receive the X-ray surveillance reports?
A: Preliminary findings are flagged immediately if urgent clinical intervention is needed. Full specialist radiological reports and fitness certificates are issued within 24 to 48 hours.
Can mobile chest X-rays be combined with spirometry during the same visit?
A: Yes. We frequently combine mobile occupational health X-ray imaging with on-site lung function testing / spirometry, audiometry, and skin health checks to deliver complete health surveillance.
Is on-site X-ray screening suitable for active construction and quarry sites?
A: Absolutely. Our mobile units are ruggedized and self-powered, making them ideal for active construction developments, quarries, stonemasonry yards, and manufacturing facilities.
