At Woodlands Primary Healthcare, we understand that basic occupational health screening isn't enough. Through comprehensive medical evaluation, advanced diagnostic testing, and clear fitness determinations, Dr. Javier Sosa and his team help employers protect their workforce while transferring health screening liability to qualified medical professionals.

Comprehensive Testing Beyond Basic Screening

Unlike standard occupational health clinics that provide only cursory physical exams, our program delivers comprehensive objective testing aligned with IPIECA-IOGP international industry standards. Our screening identifies cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic risks before they cause workplace emergencies:

Body Composition Analysis

InBody 580 assessment identifies obesity-related risks, metabolic health, and cardiovascular risk factors not visible through basic examination

Cardiovascular Stress Testing

Bruce protocol treadmill stress testing evaluates functional cardiac capacity and identifies candidates at risk of cardiac events during strenuous work

Pulmonary Function Testing

Complete spirometry detects respiratory limitations essential for OSHA compliance and respirator use clearance


Vision & Hearing Assessment

Comprehensive sensory testing including color vision, depth perception, and pure tone audiometry meets DOT and OSHA standards

Drug & Alcohol Screening

DOT-compliant testing for safety-sensitive positions with full chain of custody documentation


Digital Dashboard Access

Real-time access to complete test results, clear fit/unfit determinations, and downloadable medical certificates

FAQs

What positions require pre-employment medical screening?

Pre-employment screening is recommended for any position with physical demands or safety-sensitive responsibilities, including commercial drivers (DOT-regulated), offshore workers, fire and rescue personnel, heavy equipment operators, positions requiring respirator use or confined space entry, oil and gas industry personnel, and construction workers in high-risk environments. We customize screening protocols based on your specific operational requirements and regulatory obligations.

How does this differ from a standard occupational health exam?

Standard occupational health exams typically include only basic physical examination and cursory vital signs, while our comprehensive program includes InBody 580 body composition analysis, Bruce protocol cardiac stress testing, complete pulmonary function testing with flow-volume curves, comprehensive vision and hearing assessments, 12-lead EKG with physician interpretation, and a digital dashboard providing real-time results with clear FIT/UNFIT determinations. We provide objective data on fitness for demanding work, not just a cursory physical exam.

What is IOGP compliance and why does it matter?

IOGP (International Association of Oil & Gas Producers) establishes global standards for pre-employment medical screening, and our protocols align with IOGP Reports 588 and 470, ensuring assessments meet the expectations of major international operators including ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, and BP. This is particularly important for contractors and joint venture partners in the energy sector who require IOGP-compliant medical evaluations for safety-sensitive positions, and it provides standardized, objective testing procedures with documented liability protection.

How long does the screening take?

A comprehensive pre-employment screening typically takes 1-2 hours depending on the specific tests required for the position, and includes all diagnostic testing, physician evaluation, and complete documentation. Results are available through the digital dashboard within 24-48 hours, with official medical certificates issued immediately upon physician clearance and comprehensive reports available for download within 48 hours.

Do you provide DOT medical examinations?

Yes. Dr. Javier Sosa is a certified DOT Medical Examiner registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and we provide DOT physical examinations for CDL holders, Medical Examiner's Certificates valid for up to 24 months, and FMCSA-compliant documentation. For employers requiring both DOT certification and comprehensive pre-employment screening (common for oilfield drivers, heavy equipment operators, and pipeline workers), we can combine both assessments in a single appointment.

What if an employee is found unfit for duty?

If testing reveals conditions incompatible with safe job performance, we provide clear documentation of specific medical limitations with detailed physician reasoning following evidence-based IOGP standards, along with recommendations for accommodation or alternative positions where appropriate. This protects your organization from liability by providing objective medical grounds for employment decisions, transferring medical decision-making liability to qualified physicians, creating a complete audit trail for workers' compensation and legal protection, and demonstrating due diligence in pre-employment health assessment.
