So What Makes Us Different?

NorthWorks Occupational Health offers the same quality of care at the worksite as you would expect to receive in our clinic. In order to achieve this goal, we offer you:

Staff. Medically trained staff (RN/Occ Health Tech) who are NIOSH certified and whose work is overseen by our Medical Director.

Education. Medically trained staff are able to explain the testing process and answer questions with a view toward better respiratory compliance in the workplace. Naturally our service is a bit more than some of our competitors who use large vans, but once you’ve tried us we think you’ll agree the extra value is well worth the benefit to your organization.

Questionnaire. RN real-time review of questionnaire and determination of health status assures your staff are safe to perform the test. We also determine which individuals need additional medical evaluation.
