Why is a DOT Physical critical?
There are many risk factors for truck drivers that make them more likely to cause an accident. Top concerns are health problems, lack of sleep, and trouble accessing healthcare. DOT physicals are required by law for a DOT license.
That is where Complete Health Partners comes in.
A Department of Transportation (DOT) physical is a physical exam required of people who drive commercial vehicles. The goal of a DOT physical is to make sure people who are driving commercial motor vehicles are physically, mentally, and emotionally fit. As demands on our drivers across the country continue it has become even more critical for us to proactively support employees who drive commercial vehicles.
Truck driving is one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States. In addition to driving accidents, truckers are also at high risk for equipment-related injuries and ergonomic injuries. Long hours on the road and the sedentary nature of trucking work also put truckers at a much higher risk for many lifestyle-related diseases and injuries.
The nature of truck driving makes many drivers susceptible to serious health problems, such as:
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- Musculoskeletal injuries
- Cardiovascular disease
- Elevated blood pressure
At Complete Health Partners we can change that.
Occupational Medicine is a win-win
The focus of occupational medicine fulfills the medical needs of the employers for their personnel, create a provision of care for work-related injuries as well conduct preventive services including safety programs, drug-free educational sessions, and corporate health services.
