The Act XCIII of 1993 on Labour Protection mandates that every employer must provide occupational health services (formerly known as occupational physician services) to all its employees. The main role of occupational health examination is preventive: its purpose is to assess the suitability for the job and to monitor the effects of workplace stress and occupational pathogenic factors.
Please be informed that we only conduct occupational health examinations for employees of employers who have a contract with us!
