A Brief Introduction

Initially establised in 1973 as Western Paramedical Ltd., Daltec Health Services and it's sister companies; Wescan Health Associates (Canada) Ltd., Wescan Audiometric Health Ltd and Wescan Health Services (Lethbridge) Ltd. have been providing occupational health services to the industries of Western Canada for more than twenty years.

As a response to the marked increase in employee, employer and government awareness of the importance of providing safety oriented health services in the workplace, our focus shifted from paramedical services within the insurance industry to occupational health in the late 1970's. Daltec Occupational Health Services and it's group of companies are proud to have received "commendable acceptance" from Federal Government agencies, and we continue to set the standard for our industry.

As one of the first companies to recognize the potential benefits of substance abuse testing in the workplace, we began offering this service as a part of our Occupational Health program in the late 1980's. According to a comprehensive study undertaken by AADAC and the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Heritage Grant Program in 1991, the costs to the Alberta economy associated with substance use-induced worker absenteeism is almost one half billion dollars ($500,000,000.00)  per year. It is little wonder that Substance Abuse Testing is gaining industry-wide acceptance.
