Workplace injuries don’t always need to start with a clinic visit.

Tele-triage gives employees immediate access to a clinician who can evaluate the situation and recommend the right next step, often resolving the issue without ever leaving the worksite.

In fact, strong programs typically keep 50–60% of injury incidents within tele-triage, which can have a significant impact on overall injury costs, recordables, and downtime.

Watch this short clip from our recent webinar with Transport Topics to hear why tele-triage is such a powerful first line of defense.

25 Years of Service, Relationships, and Travel

One of our field technicians recently celebrated 25 years with Examinetics, and his story captures what makes our team special.

Over the years, he’s had the chance to revisit many of the same customers and service participants again and again.

“They're always glad to see me, and I them. I like being one of the techs they want to see over and over.”

When he’s off the road, he enjoys international travel, with Mexico and Italy among his favorite destinations. The image here features San Luca Basilica near Bologna, Italy.

Congratulations on 25 years — and thank you for the relationships, dedication, and professionalism you bring to the job every day.

💙 Integrity in Action 💙

Please join us in celebrating Antrinette Pharr, our Integrity Award winner!

Integrity means doing the right thing — even when no one is watching — and Antrinette lives that out every single day.

As a mother of four who has helped guide many others along the way, caring for people comes naturally to her. That same heart shows up in her work, where she supports employees, protects workforce health, and represents Examinetics with professionalism and compassion.

Before joining our team, she transported critical medical materials — a role built on trust, precision, and responsibility. Today, she brings that same reliability to every client and every jobsite.

In her words:
"Being able to make someone’s day easier, provide support, or simply show up when it matters most is what motivates me."

We are proud to have Antrinette on our team and grateful for the integrity she demonstrates every day.

👏 Congratulations, Antrinette!

Fit for Duty vs. Return-to-Duty -- Not interchangeable.

A fit-for-duty exam checks if someone can safely do their job.

A return-to-duty process is required after a drug or alcohol violation and follows strict federal rules.

Mixing them up can create serious compliance issues.

When should employers drug test?

It’s one of the most common questions we hear from HR and Safety leaders.

The truth? Drug testing isn’t just a hiring step; it’s a structured safety strategy that protects your workforce from day one through return-to-duty.

In our newest blog, we break down:

✔Pre-employment testing
✔Random testing
✔Post-accident vs. post-incident
✔Reasonable suspicion
✔Return-to-duty protocols

We also explain when testing is legally required, when it’s policy-driven, and how to avoid common compliance missteps.

Drug testing isn’t about punishment.
It’s about prevention, consistency, and protecting your people.

If your program feels reactive or administratively heavy, this guide can help you rethink your approach.
