Universal OSGB Medical Testing Laboratory Services
ÜNİVERSAL OSGB aims to meet the medical testing needs of workplaces operating in various sectors as part of pre-employment and employee health processes. Its services cover several areas, including imaging, hearing and respiratory tests, examinations that support cardiac assessment, and laboratory analyses.
- On-Site Medical Testing Laboratory Services
Many of the medical examinations required before employment involve measurements and tests that help assess an employee’s health and carry out checks required by the job.
Chest X-Ray and Reporting
When deemed necessary, a chest X-ray enables radiological assessment of the lungs and chest area. It may be requested by the occupational physician based on the nature of the job and potential exposure to respiratory hazards. Radiological assessment and reporting must be carried out by appropriately authorized healthcare professionals.
Complete Blood Count (Hemogram — 18 Parameters, 3 Histograms)
A complete blood count (CBC) is a laboratory test that helps assess the main cellular components of blood. It includes parameters related to red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The stated scope of 18 parameters and 3 histograms refers to the technical specifications of the test panel offered.
Audiometry — Hearing Test
Audiometry is a test used to assess hearing levels. It is important in health surveillance for employees working in noisy environments or at risk of occupational noise exposure. Test results are evaluated alongside working conditions and, where appropriate, previous measurements.
PFT — Pulmonary Function Test
A pulmonary function test measures certain aspects of a person’s breathing capacity and airflow. Depending on the nature of the job, it may be requested as part of health surveillance in workplaces where dust, smoke, chemicals, or other respiratory hazards are present.
ECG — Electrocardiography
An ECG records the electrical activity of the heart and provides information about heart rhythm and electrical conduction. It may be requested based on the employee’s health status, job description, and medical requirements. The clinical interpretation of results is performed by an authorized healthcare professional.
- Biochemistry Tests
Biochemistry tests help assess indicators associated with various organ systems and metabolic processes using blood and urine samples.
The following tests are included in the specified laboratory services offered by ÜNİVERSAL OSGB:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Assessment of blood cells.
- Blood Glucose: Fasting and post-meal glucose measurements; blood glucose levels may be examined where appropriate.
- Urea (BUN): Assessment of urea and related indicators of kidney function.
- Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and VLDL: Assessment of the blood lipid profile.
- Triglycerides: Measurement of triglyceride levels in the blood.
- AST (SGOT): Measurement of an enzyme associated with the liver and other tissues.
- ALT (SGPT): Assessment of an enzyme associated particularly with liver cells.
- Creatinine: One of the key laboratory indicators used to assess kidney function.
- Complete Urinalysis: Examination of the physical, chemical, and, when necessary, microscopic characteristics of urine.
These tests should not be considered a standard, mandatory package for every employee. The analyses required should be determined according to the employee’s health assessment and occupational risks.
- Hematology Tests
Hematology covers examinations related to blood and the blood-forming system. In addition to a complete blood count, other hematological analyses may contribute to a health assessment when considered necessary.
The scope of hematology tests requested through ÜNİVERSAL OSGB is determined according to the relevant health assessment and laboratory service planning.
- Hepatitis Tests
Hepatitis tests are used to assess indicators associated with certain viral infections. They may be requested depending on the nature of the job, the possibility of exposure to biological agents, and medical requirements.
The tests included in the service are:
- HBsAg: Hepatitis B surface antigen.
- Anti-HBs: Antibody against the hepatitis B surface antigen.
- HCV: A screening test associated with the hepatitis C virus.
The results of these tests do not, on their own, constitute a definitive diagnosis in every case. Further testing and clinical assessment may be performed when necessary.
- Carrier Screening Tests
In food production, mass catering, and related workplaces, hygiene requirements and applicable legislation are important in determining which health checks are needed.
The specified testing services offered by ÜNİVERSAL OSGB include the following culture tests:
- Stool Culture
- Throat Culture
- Nasal Culture
These are laboratory examinations used to investigate relevant microorganisms. The tests required should be determined according to sector-specific regulations, job duties, and the health assessment. It should not be assumed that all these tests are mandatory for every employee.
- Infectious Disease Tests
Tests related to infectious diseases should be considered on the basis of an appropriate medical justification and within the applicable legal framework.
HIV Test
HIV-related tests are laboratory examinations used to investigate HIV infection. Requesting this test during pre-employment procedures should not be treated as a general, automatic requirement. Applicable legislation, medical necessity, privacy, and the prohibition of discrimination must be taken into account.
HPV Test
HPV tests examine factors associated with human papillomavirus. They are not a general test that must routinely be performed as part of every pre-employment health assessment. If requested, they should be considered in light of medical necessity and applicable legislation.
Employees’ health information is classified as special-category personal data. Applicable personal data protection legislation and confidentiality principles must be followed when such information is processed, shared, or stored.

Proper planning of the pre-employment health process is important for both employees and employers. The general process consists of the following steps:
- Identifying job duties and risks: The employee’s duties and risks in the work environment are assessed.

- Performing the required tests: Appropriate tests and laboratory analyses are carried out.
- Evaluating the results: The results are reviewed by the relevant healthcare professionals.

Medical test results alone do not constitute a fitness-for-work decision. The final health assessment considers the employee’s job description together with the relevant medical findings.
