Occupational medicine
A full medical examination is performed at the workplace or at the premises of CMMA, and is followed by a blood test focussed on exposure to risk.
Results are available the same day at CMMA and sent to the primary care physician, with the employee’s consent. We offer biological tests, X-rays, electrocardiograms, functional respiratory explorations and blood and urine tests. These tests enable us to perform a general health check to complement information such as: personal background, lifestyle and vaccinations. We assess the working environment in consultation with health and safety officers and the human resources.
