Whether you run a construction company in Union County, manage a healthcare facility in Essex County, or employ a workforce of any size across New Jersey, occupational health services are an essential part of keeping your team healthy, your workplace compliant, and your business protected.

Care Station Medical provides comprehensive occupational health services at multiple New Jersey locations, offering employers and employees convenient access to the care and documentation they need — often the same day.

WHAT IS OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH?

Occupational health (also called occupational medicine) is a medical specialty focused on the prevention and treatment of workplace-related injuries and illnesses. It bridges clinical medicine, public health, and workplace safety to protect employees while helping employers maintain a productive, compliant workforce.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (https://www.osha.gov/) requires employers to provide a safe working environment and, in many industries, to maintain specific health and medical records for employees. A reliable occupational health partner helps ensure these requirements are met efficiently.

CORE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SERVICES AT CARE STATION MEDICAL

Pre-Employment Physicals:
Before bringing on new employees — especially in physically demanding or safety-sensitive roles — many employers require a pre-employment physical to confirm that candidates are physically capable of performing the job. Our exams are thorough, efficient, and can be completed on a walk-in basis.

Drug and Alcohol Testing:
Care Station Medical provides DOT-compliant and non-DOT drug testing services, including pre-employment, random, reasonable suspicion, post-accident, and return-to-duty testing. Results are processed quickly and reported through secure channels.

Workers’ Compensation Injury Care:
When a workplace injury occurs, timely and accurate medical care is critical — for the employee’s recovery and for accurate workers’ compensation documentation. Our providers are experienced in evaluating and treating workplace injuries including:
– Strains, sprains, and musculoskeletal injuries
– Cuts, lacerations, and puncture wounds
– Eye injuries and foreign body removal
– Burns and chemical exposures
– Fractures and dislocations

Return-to-Work Evaluations:
After an injury or illness, employees often need medical clearance before returning to their duties. Our providers can evaluate readiness for return to work, including any work restriction recommendations and documentation for HR and insurance purposes.

Respiratory Fit Testing and Medical Clearance:
Employees who wear respirators in the workplace (in healthcare, manufacturing, construction, etc.) often require annual fit testing and medical clearance. Care Station Medical provides these services efficiently for employers across New Jersey.

OSHA-Regulated Medical Surveillance:
Certain industries require periodic medical monitoring for employees exposed to specific hazards — heavy metals, chemicals, noise, asbestos, and others. Our team can support your OSHA medical surveillance program.
