Recommended Workflow

Recommended Workplace Injury Workflow

After an incident, employers may need to evaluate immediate next steps, distinguish first aid from medical treatment, assess OSHA recordability, organize documentation, estimate financial impact, and coordinate modified duty.

What Happens Next?

What happens after modified-duty planning?

FAQ

Occupational Medicine Tool FAQs

What occupational medicine services do Tampa Bay employers usually need?

Most employers need a mix of pre-employment physicals, drug testing, DOT physicals for regulated drivers, respirator clearance or fit testing for exposed roles, OSHA documentation, injury evaluation, and return-to-work support.

Can occupational medicine be set up as an employer program instead of one-off visits?

Yes. Castellan Health can help employers standardize ordering, scheduling, documentation, and communication so HR, safety, and operations teams have a repeatable workforce health workflow.

How should employers estimate occupational medicine costs?

Useful cost planning starts with employee count, annual hiring volume, DOT driver count, safety-sensitive roles, respirator users, expected drug testing volume, and likely injury visits. A custom employer quote is still needed for final pricing.
