Medical Surveillance

The University of Southern California is committed to providing a safe working environment. Safety is the responsibility of each and every employee, regardless of position. Our goal is to eliminate all work-related injuries and illnesses so that our faculty, staff and students can continue to further the mission of the university.

The primary purpose of the Medical Surveillance Program is to identify conditions that could lead to occupational disease. Secondarily, the program provides compliance with state and federal regulations that require medical monitoring.

At USC, occupational health surveillance includes tracking occupational injuries, illnesses, hazards and exposures. Analysis of data trends guides efforts to improve worker safety and health.

Staff who may be asked to participate in medical surveillance include those who wear respirators, use Class III or IV lasers, are exposed to high noise levels, work with teaching animals, and those covered by other regulatory programs that require periodic exams.
