Machine Operators tested

On Saturday we had to do some medicals at our resident site, Wilson's Transport, De Beer Street, Sacks Circle, Bellville South, for a client whose machine operators are spread out over the Cape Peninsula and not able to be at one site during the workweek. In such instances we have the client bring the patients to our resident site for tests:
Snellen test...
One of the clerks confirming some information on the patient's medical history.
BMI's were calculated...
Blood-pressures are monitored...
Audiometry testing taking place.
Spirometry (lung function test) is an essential part of medical surveillance. Tests are captured with specialized software and equipment, directly to laptop for quick reference and archiving.
Chest examination for abnormalties in the heart and lungs.
Special vision screening is required by the Road and Traffic regulations for operators
Well-controlled blood sugar levels are essential for fitness to work and should be monitored.
Despite the cold weather, we had lots of fun, practicing our Xhosa, and ensuring a healthy workforce!
