Creating a safe and productive workplace starts with understanding the health and physical capabilities of your workforce. Whether you’re hiring new employees, managing workplace health programs, or supporting workers returning after an injury, occupational health services provide valuable information that helps employers make informed decisions while meeting workplace safety requirements.
At Canadian Occupational Wellness, we provide comprehensive occupational health testing and assessment services throughout Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Leduc, Nisku, Fort Saskatchewan, Spruce Grove, and communities across Alberta. Our mobile and on-site services are designed to help employers improve workplace safety, support employee wellness, and maintain regulatory compliance.
Comprehensive Occupational Health Services for Alberta Employers
Every workplace has unique demands, risks, and compliance requirements. That’s why Canadian Occupational Wellness offers a range of occupational health services tailored to the needs of employers across construction, transportation, manufacturing, oil and gas, municipal services, warehousing, and industrial sectors.
Our services help employers evaluate employee fitness for duty, identify workplace risks, and support proactive health and safety programs.
Audiometric Testing and Hearing Conservation Programs
Noise-induced hearing loss remains one of the most common occupational health concerns in Canada. Workers exposed to elevated noise levels should participate in hearing conservation programs that include regular audiometric testing.
Our audiometric testing services establish hearing baselines, monitor changes over time, and help employers meet hearing conservation requirements. With mobile testing capabilities, we can conduct hearing tests directly at your worksite, minimizing downtime and reducing operational disruptions.
Quantitative Respirator Fit Testing
Respiratory protection is essential in many industrial environments. A respirator can only provide adequate protection if it fits properly and creates an effective seal.
Our quantitative respirator fit testing services provide objective measurements to verify respirator performance and worker protection. We conduct on-site fit testing for a variety of respirator models, helping employers maintain respiratory protection programs and workplace safety standards.
Drug and Alcohol Testing
Drug and alcohol testing programs can play an important role in maintaining safe, productive workplaces, particularly in safety-sensitive industries.
Canadian Occupational Wellness offers:
- Point-of-Care Testing (POCT)
- Laboratory-based testing
- Oral fluid testing
- Pre-employment testing
- Post-incident testing
- Reasonable cause testing
- Pre-access testing
Our testing services provide employers with timely, professional results while supporting workplace safety initiatives.
Spirometry and Respiratory Health Testing
Workers exposed to dust, fumes, chemicals, and other respiratory hazards may benefit from regular pulmonary function monitoring.
Spirometry testing measures lung function and can help establish baseline respiratory health while supporting respiratory protection and occupational health programs.
Vision Screening Services
Good vision is critical for many job functions, particularly in safety-sensitive positions involving equipment operation, driving, or precision work.
Vision screening helps identify visual limitations that may impact workplace performance and safety while supporting employee health and wellness initiatives.
Hearing Protection Fit Testing
Providing hearing protection is only part of an effective hearing conservation program. Employers should also ensure workers are receiving adequate protection from their hearing protection devices.
Hearing protection fit testing measures the effectiveness of earplugs and hearing protection equipment for individual workers, helping maximize protection in high-noise environments.
Return-to-Work Assessments
When an employee is returning after an injury, illness, or extended absence, employers need reliable information to ensure a safe and successful transition back to work.
Our Return-to-Work Assessments evaluate an employee’s functional abilities in relation to their job requirements. These assessments help employers identify appropriate accommodations, support rehabilitation efforts, and reduce the risk of re-injury.
A well-managed return-to-work process benefits both employers and employees by promoting recovery while maintaining workplace productivity.
Fit-for-Work Assessments
Fit-for-Work Assessments help determine whether an individual can safely perform the essential duties of their position.
These assessments are commonly used for:
- Safety-sensitive occupations
- Pre-employment evaluations
- Medical clearance reviews
- Return-to-work planning
- Post-incident evaluations
Our occupational health professionals provide objective, evidence-based recommendations that assist employers in making informed decisions while prioritizing worker safety.
Occupational Health Assessments
Occupational Health Assessments provide a broader evaluation of a worker’s health and functional capacity in relation to workplace demands.
These assessments can support:
- Fitness-for-duty determinations
- Workplace accommodation planning
- Disability management programs
- Injury prevention initiatives
- Employee wellness programs
By understanding how an employee’s capabilities align with job requirements, employers can better manage workplace risks while supporting worker health and performance.
Physical Demands Analysis (PDA)
A Physical Demands Analysis is one of the most valuable tools available for injury prevention and disability management.
Our Physical Demands Analysis services involve a detailed evaluation of the physical requirements of a specific job, including:
- Lifting and carrying requirements
- Pushing and pulling forces
- Standing and walking durations
- Repetitive tasks and movements
- Climbing, kneeling, bending, and reaching
- Environmental and workplace conditions
A PDA provides employers, healthcare providers, and employees with a clear understanding of job demands, helping support return-to-work planning, accommodation decisions, and injury prevention strategies.
Why Occupational Health Services Matter
Investing in occupational health testing and assessments provides significant benefits for employers and workers alike.
Improved Workplace Safety
Identifying health concerns, physical limitations, and workplace risks before incidents occur can help prevent injuries and improve overall workplace safety.
Reduced Injury Costs
Proactive testing and assessment programs can help reduce lost-time incidents, disability claims, and workers’ compensation costs.
Better Return-to-Work Outcomes
Objective assessments help employers make informed return-to-work decisions, improving outcomes for injured workers while reducing the likelihood of re-injury.
Enhanced Compliance
Occupational health testing helps employers demonstrate due diligence and support compliance with workplace health and safety programs.

When workers feel supported and protected, organizations often experience improved morale, engagement, and productivity.
