Question 1

How quickly can you onboard a plant with 1,000+ employees?

Accepted Answer

A standard enterprise onboarding takes 10 working days. Week one covers contract, hazard mapping and protocol design with your EHS team. Week two covers employee master upload, role-based logins and the first camp schedule. Screening typically begins on day 11, and large workforces are phased across shifts so production is never interrupted.

Question 2

Do you conduct examinations at our factory, or must employees travel?

Accepted Answer

Both. Our mobile units carry pathology collection, an audiometry booth, spirometry, vision testing and digital X-ray directly to your site, screening up to 300 employees per day including night shifts. For advanced diagnostics — TMT, 2D echo, specialised imaging — employees are scheduled at our occupational health centre through a dedicated corporate desk with no queue time.

Question 3

What is your turnaround time for reports and fitness certificates?

Accepted Answer

Standard pre-employment examinations are completed within 48 hours of sample collection. Periodic examinations with routine panels are typically returned within 72 hours. Cases requiring specialist referral or additional investigation are flagged on your dashboard the same day, so HR is never waiting without visibility.

Question 4

How do you handle employee medical confidentiality?

Accepted Answer

Employers receive a fitness decision — fit, unfit, or fit-with-restrictions — along with any work restrictions relevant to job allocation. Detailed clinical values and diagnoses remain visible only to the examining physician and the employee. Consent is captured digitally in the worker's own language before any examination begins, and every access to a record is logged.

Question 5

Which statutory requirements does your documentation cover?

Accepted Answer

We prepare records aligned to the Factories Act 1948 (including Section 41-C medical examination obligations), applicable State Factory Rules and their prescribed health registers, the Building and Other Construction Workers Act for site-based workforces, and Food Safety regulations for food-handler certification. Documentation is also structured to satisfy ISO 45001 and SEDEX audit evidence requirements.

Question 6

Who can sign a fitness certificate under the Factories Act?

Accepted Answer

A Certifying Surgeon appointed by the State Government under Section 10 of the Factories Act 1948, or — where your State Factory Rules permit — a factory medical officer holding the AFIH (Associate Fellow of Industrial Health) qualification. Every certificate we issue is signed by an AFIH-qualified physician against their medical council registration number, and the signing physician is named on the QR-verifiable certificate.

Question 7

How often must factory workers be medically examined?

Accepted Answer

Before employment in a hazardous process, and then at the interval your State Factory Rules prescribe for that process — typically every six months for hazardous processes listed in the First Schedule (Gujarat Factories Rules), annually for most other surveillance, and more often for specific exposures such as lead. Our renewal engine derives each worker's due date from their exposure, so the stricter interval always governs.

Question 8

Which health register does the Inspector of Factories ask for?

Accepted Answer

The health register prescribed by your State Factory Rules — Form 32 under the Gujarat Factories Rules 1963, Form 7 under the Maharashtra Factories Rules, with equivalent forms in other states — along with the fitness certificates behind each entry. The platform's compliance console exports the register in the prescribed layout, with every entry traceable to a released result and a signed decision.

Question 9

Is the digital platform an additional cost?

Accepted Answer

No. The occupational health platform — HR dashboard, employee records, QR certificates, renewal alerts, analytics and compliance registers — is included with every corporate contract. There is no per-seat licence and no separate implementation fee. Pricing is per examination, based on protocol and volume.

Question 10

Can you integrate with our existing HRMS or SAP system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide a REST API and scheduled SFTP exchange for employee master synchronisation, fitness status write-back and certificate metadata. Integrations with SAP SuccessFactors, Darwinbox, Keka and Zoho People have been delivered previously, and a standard integration is scoped within your onboarding window at no additional cost.

Question 11

How is pricing structured for multi-plant groups?

Accepted Answer

Enterprise groups are contracted at a consolidated annual rate covering all locations, with a single master service agreement and plant-wise billing if your finance team requires it. Rates are set by examination protocol and committed annual volume. A written proposal with a plant-wise cost breakdown is issued within 48 hours of the discovery call.
