Scope of Services

Comprehensive occupational medicine consulting designed to help your organization manage workplace injury recordability, maintain regulatory compliance, and support a productive workforce.


01

OSHA Recordability & Case Review

Medical case reviews under 29 CFR 1904 address work-relatedness, general recording criteria, and applicable exceptions. Each review draws on NIOSH occupational disease and injury criteria, with careful attention to pre-existing conditions and the distinction between true occupational causation and symptoms that happen to appear in the workplace.

Written determinations are clear and defensible, supporting accurate recordkeeping and entries on the OSHA log.

02

Internal Safety Metrics & Incident Analysis

Beyond regulatory recordability, employers benefit from a thorough case review when other contributing factors may be present in reported work-related incidents or injuries. We evaluate the medical and occupational context of each case to help safety teams understand what the data reflects and make well-supported internal decisions.

03

Medical Review Officer (MRO) Services

As an MROCC-certified MRO, Dr. Prezzia provides comprehensive review for DOT and non-DOT workplace drug testing programs. This goes well beyond confirming whether a prescription exists. Each confirmed positive is evaluated for clinical rationale, relevance to job safety, and any fitness-for-duty implications that bear on the employer's decision.

04

Hearing Conservation & STS Review

Audiometric results are reviewed to determine whether a Standard Threshold Shift meets OSHA recordability criteria under 29 CFR 1904.10. This includes age correction, assessment of work-relatedness, and consideration of the employee's occupational noise exposure history alongside relevant non-occupational factors. Each review produces a written determination for your records.

05

Return-to-Work Coordination

When employees are out on S&A leave or workers' compensation, delays often come down to communication gaps between the employer and the treating provider. We work directly with provider offices to obtain current clinical status, clarify work restrictions, and keep the return-to-work process moving. The result is less unnecessary lost time and better outcomes for everyone involved.
