Jaime Henderson, RN, BA, COHN,
Safety & Security Coordinator, BDPS
“As an Occupational Health Nurse in a plant with over 800 employees, I find Occupational Health Services to be an invaluable resource. I rely on their expertise and knowledge to assist us with keeping up to date on OSHA required annual hearing tests, respiratory fit tests, as well as many other mandatory state and federal requirements.
Occupational Health Services has also provided new hire physicals and drug testing for our company. Their Physical Capacity Profile (PCP) assessments have provided us with information to ensure we are placing candidates in positions that match their physical abilities thus lowering our OSHA incident rate. I have found their group to be knowledgeable, helpful and reliable.”

Hollie Olk
Wellness Coordinator
Platte County District 7 Supervisor
“Platte County researched starting a wellness program for a couple of years. Once we decided to implement, we knew that Occupational Health Services would be the first interview for our lab work. It didn’t take long to realize that Occupational Health Services was well attuned to be able to deliver. When using county tax payers' funds, it’s extremely important that the investment in the wellness program, which we called LEAP, be successful and in the end, offer a return on the county’s investment and our employees' health.
Occupational Health Services worked closely with the LEAP committee and helped with our employees’ informational meeting. They were flexible with each of our unique offices to provide lab time frames that worked best for our employees’ schedules. Occupational Health Services even sat down with each employee, delivering their health report and describing to each employee what they would need to work on to achieve their personal and the county’s goals.
Our LEAP committee had specific needs for our plan to continue reaching our health care insured employees and spouses and Occupational Health Services accomplished each. If you are dedicated to having a successful kickoff and implementation for your wellness plan, I highly recommend partnering with Occupational Health Services.”
