We offer a medical diagnostic service for workers who may have work-related health problems.
OEHC in Action >>
An OEHC doctor saw several office cleaners from the same workplace. They had skin and breathing problems when they used cleaning products. The OEHC Industrial Hygienist discovered certain types of cleaning products were causing their problems. OEHC reported its findings and the employer changed the types of cleaning products it used. The worker's problems were solved.

You will be asked to complete a detailed questionnaire on your work history, your health and what you have been exposed to at work. The doctor will review this information and then examine you and ask you more questions.
The whole OEHC team (doctors, nurses and industrial hygienist) will discuss your case. You may be sent for additional testing to help accurately diagnose your problem or we may request to visit your worksite (with your permission). We will recommend ways to prevent further problems.
If the medical problem is determined to be work-related, we will provide the documentation to support a Workers' Compensation claim and testify at hearings.
Your medical information is confidential. This information will only be released to others with your consent or as required by law.
Please keep in mind that sharing information may help prevent your co-workers from getting sick or injured. It will also help identify whether others are already suffering from the same problems you are experiencing.
