For companies assigning employees to work in locations with endemic health risks or that have employees performing safety-sensitive jobs, it is critical to take consistent, protective measures to prevent sickness and injury.

International Programs
Employees with latent health or fitness issues may be inappropriate for certain jobs or work in locations that carry higher health risks. Without health screening programs, employers can face severe consequences that may include serious employee illness, higher medical expenses, operational interruptions and a premature end to an expatriate assignment.

International SOS can deliver medical screening and vaccination programs for employees wherever they are located.  We can source, accredit and manage occupational health specialists, help with appointments, ensure health checks are consistent and provide certification for fitness to work. Our reports indicate aggregate fitness and health trends while complying with data privacy and medical confidentiality requirements.
 
Local Programs
Through standard fitness evaluations, our local programs help manage the medical risk of locally-based employees and nationals for large site-based projects in countries with emerging economies. We can screen for infectious disease, overall health and fitness, psychological suitability, chemical exposure, drug and alcohol abuse and more. By focusing on data management and quality medical reviews, we offer in-depth reporting of aggregate health trends.

Vaccination program
We can help you deliver a range of programs for local and on-site employees, business travelers and expatriates. We provide advice on required and recommended vaccinations worldwide and find qualified medical providers to administer inoculations. Locally, we can run vaccination campaigns so employees obtain needed immunizations as scheduled.
