Occupational Medicine Services for Chatsworth Employers & Employees

Chatsworth is known for its industrial parks, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and distribution centers, making occupational health services a critical need for local employers. From heavy lifting and machinery operation to shipping logistics and assembly line work, the physical demands on Chatsworth employees are substantial. Valley Family Medicine, your trusted urgent care center based in San Fernando City, proudly delivers comprehensive Occupational Medicine Services tailored specifically to Chatsworth’s workforce. We offer fast, walk‑in care, DOT‑compliant testing, and same‑day reporting—no appointments necessary. Call us at 818-774-0955 to set up a corporate account or simply bring your employee to our door.

Our occupational medicine program addresses every need Chatsworth employers face. We perform pre‑employment physicals that assess a candidate’s ability to meet rigorous job demands—lifting up to 50 pounds, repetitive bending, standing for full shifts, operating forklifts or heavy machinery, and working in warehouse environments. Our providers conduct a thorough medical history review, complete physical exam, vision and hearing screening, and job‑specific functional capacity evaluations. You receive a clear pass/fail recommendation with any documented restrictions, helping you make safe, legally defensible hiring decisions. Return‑to‑work physicals provide the same clarity for employees recovering from injury or illness, ensuring they can resume full duties without risking re‑injury.

Drug testing is essential for safety‑sensitive positions. We offer DOT and non‑DOT urine drug screens, breath alcohol testing, and rapid instant‑result panels. All collections follow strict chain‑of‑custody protocols. We also provide random, post‑accident, and reasonable suspicion testing to help you maintain a drug‑free workplace. Results are delivered confidentially, typically within 24 hours for lab‑based screens.

Workplace injury care is where we excel. When a Chatsworth employee sustains a laceration, sprain, strain, fracture, crush injury, burn, or exposure to chemicals or hazardous materials, our urgent care team evaluates and treats the injury immediately. We complete all workers’ compensation paperwork—including the DWC‑1 form and employer’s first report of injury—during the same visit. We also issue clear return‑to‑work recommendations with specific physical restrictions such as light duty, no lifting, modified hours, or full clearance. This clarity minimizes lost workdays, controls workers’ comp costs, and keeps your warehouse or factory running efficiently.

Preventive services help you stay ahead of compliance issues. We offer tuberculosis (TB) skin and blood testing, respirator fit testing (qualitative and quantitative), audiometry for hearing conservation programs, pulmonary function testing (PFT), and a full range of immunizations including tetanus, hepatitis B, influenza, and MMR. All services meet OSHA standards for industrial workplaces.

Chatsworth employers choose Valley Family Medicine because we prioritize speed and clear communication. Most occupational visits take under one hour. We fax or email results, clearance letters, and injury reports directly to your HR or safety department the same day. We accept most workers’ compensation insurance plans and offer affordable self‑pay rates. Call 818-774-0955 today to establish a corporate account.
