Ensure the safety of your business and employees through an on-site review of personal protective equipment (PPE). As each business has its unique requirements, it’s crucial to ensure that your employees are adequately protected from work-related injuries. Depending on the industry, it may be necessary to provide specialized clothing, helmets, goggles, or other garments to safeguard them in their job roles.
Let PromptCare OccMed take care of your business by conducting an on-site review of your PPE items.

AGILITY AND FITNESS TESTING
A Physical Ability Test (PAT) is a comprehensive evaluation conducted in a clinical setting that aims to simulate the physical requirements of a job description. The PAT assesses an employee’s ability to perform essential work-related physical tasks.
Implementing a Pre-hire Physical Ability Test (PAT) program is crucial to ensure that the workers you hire possess the necessary physical capabilities to meet the demands of their assigned roles. This testing adds a valuable layer of precision to the hiring process, reducing instances of inadequate hires and employee turnover.
