LIOEHC is part of a statewide network of occupational health clinics created by the New York State Department of Health in 1986.  LIOEHC offers a wide variety of occupational and environmental health and safety services to workers, employers, unions, government, and health professionals. Unique to Long Island for its integrated and comprehensive approach to occupational health, our goals are to:  

• Prevent occupational injuries and illnesses through early diagnosis,  treatment and remediation of hazards. 
  


• Conduct medical screenings for groups of workers who have worked with or been exposed to dangerous materials,  chemicals, or environmental hazards. Our medical evaluations meet OSHA standards. We evaluate workers exposed to agents such as asbestos, lead, chromium, hazardous waste, benzene, excessive noise, mold, sun exposure, repetitive trauma and ticks. 
  


• Provide industrial hygiene evaluations to evaluate workplaces for controllable occupation hazards such as noise, asbestos and indoor air quality.  Our industrial hygienist performs respirator fit testing as well as occupational health and safety training.
  


• Conduct educational sessions to improve workplace health and safety issues, including indoor air quality, asthma in the workplace, ergonomic issues and safe lifting practices. We will design an educational program based upon a group's specific needs.
  


• Conduct medical examinations for job placement, certification exams e.g. Department of Transportation physical exams, return-to-work assessments,  Workers' Compensation evaluations,  and evaluation of work-relatedness for complex medical conditions.
