What ESAME does

ESAME Medicina do Trabalho Ltda is a São Paulo-headquartered occupational health and safety services company founded in July 1983, operating under the trade name ESAME | Saúde Ocupacional. The company provides outsourced occupational health management to corporate clients across all sectors and sizes in Brazil, delivering services mandated by Brazilian labor regulations (Normas Regulamentadoras), including PCMSO coordination, occupational medical examinations (admission, periodic, dismissal), risk management programs (PGR, GRO), ergonomic analyses (AET), and a full suite of regulatory technical reports (LTCAT, PPP, NR-10, NR-13, etc.). ESAME also offers adjacent value-based modules such as population health management, absence management, clinic outsourcing, quality of life programs, in-person safety training, auditing, and expert witness support in labor claims. Approximately 900-1,200 corporate clients are served nationwide through the São Paulo headquarters (occupying five floors in the Jardim Paulista district) and a coordinated network of credentialed clinics and partner laboratories across Brazil.

The technological backbone is the SOC (Sistema Ocupacional Computadorizado) software platform, developed in partnership with AGE Desenvolvimento de Sistemas, which manages patient records, scheduling, examination workflows, and compliance reporting. The SOC platform is ISO 27001:2013 certified for information security and integrated with Brazil's eSocial government reporting system and D4Sign for digital signatures. A Business Intelligence layer generates custom management reports from the structured occupational health dataset, but the platform does not employ machine learning or predictive AI capabilities. ESAME holds the ABRESST Quality Seal, is LGPD-compliant, and operates as a privately held entity with no disclosed parent company, investors, or funding rounds.

The business model is B2B professional services with quote-based pricing determined by company size, employee headcount, required examinations, and program scope. Go-to-market is sales-led, targeting HR and safety managers of Brazilian companies through the corporate website, phone outreach, social media (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook), and direct sales engagement. Revenue is generated through contracted ongoing service relationships rather than transactional sales, with billing tied to the volume and complexity of services rendered per client.
