Searching for an occupational health clinic near me? Ralmed runs on-site clinics at workplaces, so employees are seen without leaving site.
At a glance
The service
An occupational health clinic looks after workers' everyday health and the health risks of their job, and an on-site clinic brings that care to your premises.
Ralmed's on-site clinics are staffed by doctors, nurses and paramedics, in the mix your workforce needs. They handle primary care, occupational health assessments, injuries on the job and emergencies.
Because the clinic is on your site, employees are seen at work. They no longer lose half a shift travelling to a clinic in town and waiting to be seen.
Who it is for
An on-site occupational health clinic makes sense where many people work in one place, or where the nearest clinic is far away.
Operations where town is a long drive away and time off site is costly.
Factories and plants with exposure to noise, dust, chemicals or heavy machinery.
Large projects with a big workforce on site for months at a time.
Warehouses, campuses and offices where hundreds of people work on one site.
What is included
Each clinic is planned around your workforce and its risks. These are the services it can cover; the proposal sets out the detail for your site.
| Service | What it means for your employees |
|---|---|
| Primary care | Treatment for everyday illness, so staff are seen at work rather than in town. |
| Occupational health assessments | Health checks linked to the risks of the job, as your occupational health programme requires. |
| Injury management | Treatment of workplace injuries, from the first dressing to follow-up care. |
| Emergency response | A clinical team on site when an incident happens, with Ralmed ambulances for transfers. |
| Wellness programmes | Structured programmes that keep your workforce healthy, including HIV education and awareness. |
| Telemedicine | Remote consultations with a doctor when one is not on site. |
| Transport plans | Agreed arrangements for employees who need care off site. |

One clinical team. Doctors, nurses and paramedics work together in one clinic, rather than through separate contracts.
Emergency back-up built in. Ralmed runs its own ambulance service, so a transfer to hospital is part of the same arrangement.
Wellness as well as treatment. Programmes such as HIV education and awareness sit alongside the clinic's day-to-day care.
Training from the same provider. Our accredited first aid courses train your own first aiders to work alongside the clinic.
Cost
An on-site occupational health clinic is quoted for your workplace, because the cost follows the staff, the hours and the services your workforce needs.
These are the things that shape the price:
A site visit is the right place to start. We look at your workforce and your risks, then send a written proposal with the staff, the hours, the services and the cost.
Your options
An on-site occupational health clinic is one way to look after your workforce. Here is how it compares with the alternatives most employers consider.
| Option | Where care happens | Suits | Things to weigh up |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-site clinic | At your workplace, during working hours | Large workforces and sites far from town | Needs space on site and an ongoing contract |
| External clinic in town | At a clinic your employees travel to | Small workforces close to a clinic | Staff are away from work for the trip and the wait |
| Remote ambulance station | A paramedic crew and ambulance on site | High-risk sites that mainly need emergency cover | Focused on emergencies rather than everyday health, so many sites combine it with a clinic |

Questions
Call 0861 725 633 to arrange an occupational health clinic on your own premises. Ralmed runs clinics at the workplace, so the nearest clinic is the one on your site. We visit, agree the staff and hours, and send a proposal that fits your workforce.
A Ralmed clinic is staffed by doctors, nurses and paramedics, in the mix your workforce needs. A large site with many shifts may need a nurse on every shift and a doctor on set days, while a smaller site may need less. We recommend the staffing in the proposal.
Yes. Occupational health assessments are one of the clinic's core services, alongside primary care and injury management. The assessments follow your occupational health programme and the risks of each job, so employees are checked for the hazards they actually face at work.
The clinic team responds and treats the patient on site. If they need hospital care, a Ralmed ambulance transfers them, with the crew level matched to the patient. For high-risk sites, a remote ambulance station can sit alongside the clinic so an ambulance is always on the property.
Yes. HIV education and awareness sessions are part of our workplace wellness programmes, designed for industrial and remote sites. They give workers accurate information, help to reduce stigma, and encourage early detection and healthy living, alongside the clinic's everyday care.
Usually, yes. A clinic needs a private room where staff can examine patients and keep equipment and records safely. During the site visit we look at the space you have and advise what the clinic needs, so you can plan for it before the service starts.
Yes. The clinic's hours follow your operation, whether that is day shifts only or cover around the clock. The hours you choose are one of the main factors in the cost, and they are set out clearly in the proposal we send after the site visit.
A clinic looks after everyday health, assessments and injuries, while a remote ambulance station puts an emergency crew and an ambulance on site. Many high-risk sites combine the two, so that routine care and emergency cover come from the same provider under one plan.
No. The clinic supports your safety team, but the duties the Occupational Health and Safety Act places on an employer stay with the employer. The Department of Employment and Labour administers the Act and publishes guidance that employers can use.
Tell us where the site is and we will confirm what we can staff there. Each clinic is built around the site, its shifts and its risks, and accredited occupational health and safety training is delivered anywhere in South Africa.
