Federal law mandates that CDL drivers must hold a valid medical card, proving they passed a DOT physical examination and met DOT regulation part 40 requirements to be eligible to drive. The DOT and FMCSA require all CDL holders to undergo a DOT physical, complete a medical examination report, and fulfill all DOT physical requirements to receive a CDL medical card, valid for 24 months and renewable every two years. Bring glasses, a list of medications, and any relevant medical documentation. Be ready to discuss your health history with the FMCSA-certified examiner.

Non-DOT physical exams, including Fit-for-Duty, Executive Physicals, FCEs, IMEs, Military Physicals, OSHA Surveillance Exams, and more, help organizations in safety-sensitive industries like construction, transportation, and aviation manage employee health and safety risks and ensure workplace safety. These exams assess medical fitness for job performance and include a comprehensive medical history and full physical assessment. Qualified professionals conduct all exams, with results reviewed by a physician team for quality and consistency. The physician determines fitness for duty, may recommend further assessments, and advises on necessary follow-up interventions.

Noise-induced hearing loss is the leading non-fatal occupational disease claim. Early identification via audiograms is crucial for meeting legislative requirements, assessing noise exposure management, and preventing serious workplace incidents. Typically, audiometric testing is done before workplace entry to establish a baseline, periodically as required, and upon exit. Our turnkey service simplifies compliance and enhances safety, ensuring confidentiality and maintaining health and safety records as mandated. For multi-province operations, a new baseline test is needed before site transfers, ensuring consistent safety standards across locations.

Chemicals, dust, and low oxygen levels pose serious health and safety risks to workers. As an employer, it’s your duty to minimize these exposures. Simply ensuring the use of protective gear isn’t enough; you must also evaluate lung function with a pulmonary function test (PFT) and assess the effectiveness of the gear. Our respiratory testing services, developed by top industry experts, offer reliable results. Customizable to fit your needs across Canada, these services protect both employer and employee rights, ensuring fair employment practices and defensible decisions.

COVID-19 testing includes a saliva-based molecular test authorized by the FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), which is collected, shipped to CRL, and can detect the virus in saliva. Additionally, there is a rapid antibody test using a lateral flow immunoassay (RNA) for detecting the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen from nasal swabs, with results available in 15 minutes.
