Route the injury
Follow-up or return-to-work evaluation
Occupational medicine can help document restrictions, modified duty, and follow-up timing for non-emergency workplace injuries.
For non-emergency workplace injury planning, contact Castellan Health through the employer program page or review occupational medicine services.
This tool is not medical advice, diagnosis, triage, or a substitute for clinical judgment. If symptoms are severe, life-threatening, worsening, or uncertain, call 911 or seek emergency care immediately.
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 after the initial injury assessment?
Employers may next need to determine whether treatment meets OSHA's first-aid definition, evaluate recordability, organize incident documentation, estimate injury costs, and coordinate temporary work restrictions.

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.
