Who We Are

Choose The Best Care For Your Employees

Occu-Med has provided Occupational Health & Safety services to employers across Canada since 1977.

Based in London, Ontario, we deliver services via subsidiary and affiliated companies — each of which focus on specific aspects of health & safety.  We have grown by acquiring smaller health & safety companies — and by then growing organically, with a large percentage of  growth coming from client referrals.

2023 saw an expansion with our first satellite clinic, located in Sarnia, Ontario.

Our London facility is the main hub and head office of our organization and it’s here where we plan, prepare and organize all of our mobile work and also schedule in-clinic medical services for local clients.

2024 saw our head office move to a new location to better accommodate our growing staff, services and client base. If you are in the area, stop in for a visit! We’ll put on a pot of coffee and give you a tour!

MAKE IT SIMPLE

Our Service Philosophy

Occu-Med Health Services strives to make our client’s medical surveillance, hearing conservation programs and health testing as simple as possible from beginning to end. In fact, we go out of our way to make things easy during each and every phase of the operation.

From pre-job organization to scheduling, and from service delivery to reporting, we pride ourselves on our many innovative processes — many of which are unique to the industry.

For prospective clients we have sample forms, sample health files and sample reports that can show your management and your Health & Safety Committee or union exactly what will be done, and how it will be reported.

Our Mobile Hearing Testing services include the option of assigned coordinators who work with the client to keep the flow of employees moving and keep the job on schedule.

As the experts, we can share best practices with clients – to help simplify the process, to keep things moving smoothly, to reduce your hassle-factor, and most importantly — to make it easier to do business with us.
