As a business owner, you understand that a healthy workforce is the foundation of a thriving business. When employees are healthy, they are more productive, engaged, and less likely to miss work due to illness or injury. That’s why occupational health services play a crucial role in maintaining a safe and efficient work environment. Suppose you’re a Charlotte Chamber of Commerce member or an employer in the Southwest Charlotte area. In that case, you’re likely looking for ways to keep your team healthy while minimizing disruptions to your business operations.

What is Occupational Health and Why is It Important for Employers?

Occupational health refers to a wide range of medical services designed to ensure that employees remain healthy, safe, and compliant with industry regulations. As an employer, it’s important to maintain a proactive approach to employee health, as it directly impacts workplace efficiency, safety, and compliance. Partnering with a trusted healthcare provider like AFC SW Charlotte ensures that your employees receive top-tier care, reducing downtime, improving productivity, and minimizing work-related injuries.

Whether you’re dealing with pre-employment screenings, managing workplace injuries, or seeking preventive health measures, our clinic provides a comprehensive suite of services that cater to businesses of all sizes. Here’s how we can help you and your team.

Comprehensive Occupational Health Services

At AFC, we understand that each business has unique needs. Our occupational health services are designed to be flexible and efficient, providing solutions that align with your industry’s specific requirements. Let’s explore the key services we offer to employers in the Charlotte area:

Workplace Injury Treatment

Accidents and injuries are part of any workplace, but how they are managed can make all the difference in minimizing disruption. We provide immediate, high-quality treatment for non-emergency workplace injuries, including sprains, strains, cuts, and fractures. We focus on first-aid care that helps employees recover quickly and safely, minimizing downtime and ensuring they can return to work without delay. With on-site X-ray capabilities and lab testing, we can quickly assess and treat injuries, reducing the need for costly emergency room visits.

Pre-Employment, DOT, and Return-to-Work Physicals

Hiring the right employees begins with ensuring that they are physically capable of performing the job safely. Our pre-employment physical exams help you assess whether new hires are fit for the demands of the role. We also offer return-to-work physicals, which help determine when an injured employee is ready to resume their duties. Additionally, for businesses that employ commercial drivers, we provide Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals, ensuring compliance with federal regulations.

Drug and Alcohol Testing

Maintaining a drug-free workplace is vital to productivity and safety. AFC SW Charlotte offers a range of drug and alcohol testing services, including pre-employment, random, post-accident, and DOT-compliant testing. We provide rapid 5-panel and 10-panel drug tests, nicotine testing, breath alcohol testing, and hair follicle testing. Our goal is to ensure that your workplace remains safe, while providing reliable test results with minimal disruption to your operations.

Vaccinations and Immunizations

Preventive healthcare is one of the most effective ways to reduce absenteeism and protect your employees from common illnesses. At AFC, we offer a range of vaccinations, including flu shots, Hepatitis A and B, tetanus boosters, and MMR vaccines. By offering easy access to vaccines, we can help your team stay healthy and reduce the spread of illness in the workplace. We offer walk-in services and flexible scheduling to make it as convenient as possible for your employees to get vaccinated.

On-Site Health Services

For larger businesses or organizations with many employees, we offer on-site medical services. Our team can visit your business location to provide pre-employment physicals, administer vaccinations, and manage workplace injuries. This service minimizes employee downtime by eliminating the need for employees to travel to a medical facility. By bringing healthcare directly to your workplace, we help your team stay healthy and focused on their work.

Annual Employee Physicals and Screenings

Routine health screenings are essential for identifying potential health risks early and ensuring employees remain in good health. Our annual employee physicals include comprehensive medical and family history reviews, physical exams, vision and hearing tests, respiratory evaluations, and heart health screenings. These exams help identify potential risks, allowing employees to take proactive steps toward improving their health before issues become more serious.
