January – February Health Screening Schedule

SMOHIT started its health screening program years ago to help SMART members assess their risk because of the high levels of asbestos exposure in the sheet metal industry. Today, the program has evolved into a more comprehensive job hazard screening.

Asbestos-related disease is not the risk it once was, but there are other workplace hazards that can cause chronic illnesses, such as silica dust. In addition, screenings can help identify non-work-related illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol.

Screenings are free to members in good standing and are good ways to check-in on your overall wellness. Each participating member receives an examination that includes chest X-rays and breathing test; ColoCARE test to detect blood in the stool; blood sample to test for cholesterol, blood sugar and prostate antigen; and a physical examination and vitals check.

Members may attend the location that is most convenient for them. For additional information, exact dates and locations, call SMOHIT at 703-739-7130, email screenings@smohit.org or visit our website at https://www.smohit.org/asbestos-screenings/ .
