We design and run medical surveillance programmes around the hazards your workers actually face — noise, dust, solvents, metals, heat, ergonomics — and deliver them as on-site batches with statutory documentation in every state.
Every occupational-health programme we run starts with the factory's licence and process list. Each process is mapped to its hazard category, to the applicable State Factories Rules — the hazardous-process rule, the dangerous-operation schedules and their prescribed tests and intervals — and to the client's own policies. The result is a worker-level examination plan: who is examined, how often, with which investigations, recorded in which register, signed by whom.
The examination package is therefore designed according to worker exposure, job profile, factory process, applicable rules and client requirements. We do not tell you that every test is legally mandatory for every worker; we tell you which tests the rules prescribe for which process, and which additional tests are clinically advisable.
Scope is tailored per factory; the list below is our full capability.
Baseline fitness and Certificate of Fitness before deployment to hazardous or physically demanding roles.
Six-monthly or annual medical surveillance as the applicable rule and schedule prescribe.
Pure-tone audiometry for noise-exposed workers with baseline and annual comparison.
Lung-function testing for dust, fume and solvent exposure, trend-tracked year on year.
Where medically or statutorily applicable — silica, asbestos, cotton dust and other pneumoconiosis risks.
Where indicated — heat, height, heavy-machinery and cardiovascular-risk roles.
Distance, near and colour vision for machine operators, drivers, welders and inspection roles.
Routine pathology plus blood lead, urinary metabolites, cholinesterase, heavy-metal panels as the process requires.
State-prescribed registers and certificates, digitised employee-wise records, statutory form workflow.
Occupational Health Centre set-up and AFIH-qualified Factory Medical Officer cover.
Compliance dashboards, de-identified employee medical statistics and management summaries.
Abnormal-result tracking, referral workflows and periodic recall scheduling so no due date is missed.
Process list, headcount, state and existing records reviewed; applicable rules and tests mapped; proposal issued.
Examination batches planned around shifts and production; roster, consent and fasting instructions issued.
AFIH-led medical team, technicians, mobile lab and — where required — Certifying Surgeon coordination at your gate.
Registers, certificates, digital records, statistics and next-due calendar delivered within the agreed turnaround.
Yes. Our examination teams travel to factory locations across India from regional hubs, with Mumbai as headquarters. Remote and cluster locations are scheduled as multi-plant tours to keep costs efficient. We do not maintain a resident team in every state; we deliver on-site batches wherever your plant is.
That depends on the process and the state. The dangerous-operation schedules in each State Factories Rules prescribe specific tests — for example blood and urine lead, haemoglobin and stippling for lead processes; pulmonary function and chest X-ray for silica processes; skin and nasal inspection for chrome. For hazardous processes the rules require examination by the Factory Medical Officer but leave the investigations to clinical judgement. We map the mandatory tests for each process and recommend additional tests separately, so you always know which is which.
Yes — that is the core of our Pan-India model. One examination protocol, one recall calendar and one reporting format, with state-correct registers, certificates and signatories generated for each plant under its own Factories Rules. See the state-wise pages for the differences.
Send us your process list and locations — we will map the rules, tests and frequency and propose a Pan-India programme.
Nodal Healthcare provides occupational-health services through qualified medical professionals. AFIH-qualified doctors and Factory Medical Officers are not, by virtue of that qualification, Certifying Surgeons; Certifying Surgeons are appointed or authorised by the State Government under Section 10 of the Factories Act, 1948. Where a statutory provision requires a Certifying Surgeon or other authority-approved practitioner, we coordinate compliant services through appropriately qualified, authorised or empanelled professionals, subject to the applicable state rules and appointment requirements.
