For years, flexible fibers resistant to heat, electricity and corrosion known as asbestos were used to make a variety of commercial products, from insulation and fireproofing materials, to automotive brakes, textile products, and cement and wallboard materials. While the use of asbestos has decreased, these minerals are still found in many residential and commercial areas, and poses a serious threat to workers’ health.
Asbestos is well recognized as a health hazard and its use is now highly regulated by both OSHA and EPA. Asbestos has been linked with cancers and pulmonary diseases, and has also been associated with scarring of the lung – a condition referred to as asbestosis.
As per OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1001, employees who are exposed to asbestos may need to have a medical surveillance exam. This includes all employees who meet the following criteria:
An Asbestos Physical Exam involves a series of tests and examinations performed to check the health of the respiratory system of workers who are exposed to asbestos or have a potential exposure to asbestos. An Asbestos Physical Exam includes the following:
The Asbestos Physical must be conducted annually except for the chest x-ray. The chest x-ray needs to be conducted every five years within the first ten years of exposure. The frequency of x-rays also depends on the age of the employee.

I was in Ann Arbor for only a few hours and wanted to get tested for Covid. I contacted Prognify Urgent Care and asked if they could fit me in. I had an appointment a half hour later. No waiting time. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff. Also, the facility is very clean and tidy. An overall great experience. I highly recommend.

Prognify is the best! You can usually get same day appointments, the doctors and nurses are warm and efficient and the wait time is next to none. When you are feeling poorly, these elements are essential.

Very clean lobby and rooms. Friendly staff and a kind and friendly provider (which has NOT been my experience with Urgent Care providers in the past). I really liked being able to book my appt. online and felt that it sped up the wait time considerably. Would definitely go back again.
