Preventive screenings for the people who do the physical work

Employer-sponsored health screening at the clinic or at your site — the measurements that catch a problem early, with results that go to the employee and participation that goes to you.

For employers

Offer a screening your crew will actually turn up for

Panel chosen with you, scheduled around shifts, run at the clinic or at your site, with participation reported back and nobody’s individual results in it.

What is screened

Screenings chosen by the job and the program, not a fixed menu

A preventive screening is a look for a problem before it has symptoms. It is voluntary, paid for by the employer, and separate from anything a regulation requires — surveillance exams driven by an OSHA standard are a different service.

We build the screening around the workforce: what the jobs are physically demanding, what the employer wants to offer, and what the employees will actually turn up for.

  • Manufacturing and warehouse crews
  • Construction and trades
  • Drivers and equipment operators
  • Employers offering a wellness benefit
ScreeningWhat it looks at

Blood pressure and vitals

Hypertension that has never been measured, and a baseline to compare against next year.

Height, weight and BMI

A recorded baseline, used with the employee’s own history rather than on its own.

Blood glucose

Elevated fasting glucose that warrants a conversation with the employee’s own doctor.

Lipid panel

Cholesterol and triglycerides, drawn at the same visit as the other labs.

Tuberculosis screening

Skin test or IGRA blood test where a role or a facility requires it.

Immunization review

What is on record, what has lapsed, and titers where proof of immunity is needed.

A screening is not a diagnosis. Anything outside the expected range is explained to the employee and referred to their own physician — ICA is an occupational medicine clinic, not a primary care provider.

How it works

From program setup to results in hand

Screening is voluntary; participation is the employee’s choice.

  1. Setup

    Employer picks the panel

    Which screenings, who is eligible, whether it runs at the clinic or on-site, and how it is paid for.

  2. At the visit

    Measurements and draw

    Vitals and measurements first, then a blood draw if the panel includes labs.

  3. After the visit

    Lab analysis

    Specimens run at an outside laboratory; the clinic releases nothing until the results are back.

  4. On receipt

    Results and referral

    The employee gets a written copy and an explanation. Anything that needs care is referred out.

Before you come in

What to bring and how to prepare

Most screenings need no preparation, but a lipid or glucose panel is read against whether you have eaten.

Good to know

  • If your panel includes glucose or a lipid draw, your employer will tell you whether to fast — follow that instruction, not a general rule.
  • Take your regular medications as prescribed unless you have been told otherwise.
  • Wear a sleeve that rolls above the elbow.

Bring

  • Photo ID
  • Your employer’s screening authorization
  • A list of current medications and supplements
  • Your immunization record, if the panel includes a titer or vaccine review

Results

Who sees what

Screening results are the employee’s health information. The employer is paying for the program, not buying the findings: they get who took part and what the group needs, and nothing that identifies an individual’s results — unless the screening exists to meet a written job standard, which is a different service.

Employee

After results are back

  • A written copy of every result
  • An explanation of anything outside the expected range
  • A referral to their own physician where one is warranted

Employer

After the event

  • Who participated and who did not
  • Aggregate findings for the group, de-identified
  • What the group’s results suggest is worth offering next

Your own doctor

On request

  • Results released to the physician the employee names
  • ICA does not take over ongoing care
  • Occupational findings stay separate from the screening record

Common questions

Preventive screenings, answered

Answers from our collectors and clinicians. General information, not medical or legal advice.

Is a screening required?

No. Preventive screening is voluntary and employer-sponsored. The exams a regulation requires — OSHA surveillance, respirator clearance, DOT — are separate services with their own rules, and an employee cannot opt out of those the same way.

Is this a physical?

No. A physical is an examination by a clinician against a standard, and it produces a fitness determination. A screening is a set of measurements that may send you to your own doctor. If the role needs a physical, that is what we book instead.

Will my employer see my results?

No, not individually. The employer sees who took part and what the group looks like in aggregate. Your results are yours, and you decide who else gets them.

What if something is found?

It gets explained to you at the time, in plain language, and referred to your own physician or a specialist. ICA does not take over your ongoing medical care — we tell you what we found and who should look at it.
