What is on-site service?

On-site service? ! Is this the first time you hear this term? It’s okay, it’s normal (laughs). If I say that on-site services are actually gradually evolved from the work of “factory doctors” in the past, I think maybe you can imagine it better. But is on-site service what the factory doctors did in the past? The answer isnegativeof.

On-site service ≠ the business of the factory doctor in the past

On-site serviceIf it is directly explained in the literal sense, it is the "service provided on site", which is not specifically limited to medical services, nor is it limited to what kind of services. However, the "on-site service" spoken by this generation usually refers to "Medical services provided by medical staff to prevent health hazards when they arrive at the work site".

I believe many people are already a little dazed by seeing this here (laughs).

simply put,Past factory doctorIt is usually hired by a larger company and will provide basic medical services to employees in the company’s in-house medical room. These services are mainlyTargeting individual disease needsTo solve the problem (such as: simple trauma treatment, common mild treatment, etc.), because it is for basic medical treatment of personal illnesses that have occurred, among whichFew concepts of injury prevention.

But what is mentioned nowOn-site service, It’s not individual employees, butFor the entire business unitAnd focus onpreventionPotentially caused by work-related exposure factorsHealth hazard, So the on-site service business content no longer focuses on face-to-face visits, butConduct an overall quantitative risk assessment for business units,andProvide corresponding improvement suggestions.

I believe you can understand by seeing here, why is on-site service so important? Because

On-site service = implementation of preventive medicine

More and more data now show that in the past we often mentioned risk factors from daily life (such as smoking, drinking, chewing betel nut), which may only partially affect health, and many of them come fromEnvironmental and occupational risk factorsIt has gradually been valued, and in recent years, air pollution has become the most well-known, and its harmfulness has been recognized as "New Tobacco" by the World Health Organization (WHO) (detailed articles can be searched WHO official website).

And we all know,Prevention is better than cureTherefore, on-site service is an important starting point. Through the professional medical staff to reach each different industry, use their professional knowledge of human health and disease, and match the results of the risk identification at the work site, and integrate all the information to be more capableClarify potential environmental and occupational health hazards and further assist institutions to make improvementsIn this way, all personnel can work more at ease, and they can still maintain good health when entering middle-aged and elderly people. This is the preventive medicine performed by the on-site service, which is closely related to you and me.
