Pre-Deployment and Military Deployment Examinations MOD 12 guidelines state that all contractor, military and civilian personnel traveling to theater must be medically fit for deployment. State Department and USAID personnel must also be medically evaluated as able to perform job-specific requirements and handle the daily stressors of life abroad. Inova has over 15 years of experience performing deployment exams, filling out the necessary paperwork, and recommending and administering vaccines and/or medications for time abroad.

Inova provides pre- and post-employment physicals to help employers ensure their applicant/employee is physically capable of meeting the essential functions of the job. A well-designed physical exam program can result in fewer injuries, lower costs and a better match of employees to their jobs. The exam is performed with attention to the job responsibilities, including physical requirements and potential exposures to hazardous materials. The examination components depend on the job type and work-site environment.

Inova Occupational Health is as committed to preventing injury and illness as it is to restoring health. Workplace Safety Every dollar you spend on the direct cost of a workplace injury incurs additional indirect costs: Reduced productivity and morale Expenses associated with hiring and training Equipment repair or replacement Missed revenue opportunities Increased workers' compensation premiums While it may not be possible to prevent every on-the-job accident, a proactive approach can help. Tap your workers for safety improvement ideas. Take their suggestions and concerns seriously.
