About Occu-Med Health Services Inc.

Occu-Med Health Services Inc. is a health clinic and occupational health provider located on Adelaide Street S in the Glen Cairn neighbourhood of London, Ontario. The company serves employers across Canada, ranging from small owner-managed businesses to large multinationals, by providing services designed to create safer workplaces and reduce injury costs. The clinic offers a wide range of occupational health services, including pre-placement medicals, periodic medicals, return-to-work medicals, and designated substance medicals. Their specialized offerings include forklift medicals, second opinion medicals, drug and alcohol screening, and physical demands analysis. For hearing and respiratory safety, they provide audiometric testing, noise surveys, air quality surveys, respirator fit testing, and custom earplugs. Additionally, the company offers wellness and vaccination programs, such as annual flu clinics and biometric screening, as well as on-site staffing for occupational health nurses. Founded in 1977 by Dr. Victor Vigna, the company originally began as Vigna Management Inc. and later became Occu-Med Mobile Health & Consulting Services Inc. in 1983. The business has grown through organic expansion and the acquisition of several smaller health and safety companies. The London facility serves as the organization's main hub and head office, where the team plans and organizes mobile work and schedules in-clinic medical services for local clients. Occu-Med distinguishes itself through its use of mobile health testing units, often described as "clinics on wheels," and a national network of affiliated clinics to deliver services almost anywhere in Canada. Their approach focuses on making medical surveillance and hearing conservation programs simple for clients by providing customized protocols based on specific workplace hazards. They also provide sample forms, health files, and reports for management and health and safety committees to demonstrate their processes.
