Blood Type and Card

What Is Blood Type and Card?

A blood type is a classification based on the types of antigens found in a person’s blood. Every individual may have a different blood type, and this is considered a critically important piece of information during medical interventions. Blood type plays a vital role in ensuring compatibility during blood donations and transfusions. A blood type card is a document that indicates a person's blood type and can be life-saving in emergencies. During the pre-employment medical report process, recording this information helps ensure fast response in case of work accidents or health emergencies. At İZKA OSGB, we offer professional blood typing and card issuance services to workplaces in İzmir.

Why Is Blood Type Important?

Each person’s blood type is determined by the presence of A, B, AB, or O antigens and the Rh factor (positive or negative). This classification is crucial, especially for blood transfusions, surgeries, and trauma cases. A blood type card serves as a practical ID that can save valuable time in emergencies. Blood type becomes especially important in the following cases:

• Determining and recording blood type during the pre-employment medical report process
• Medical procedures such as transfusions or organ transplants
• Fast response during traffic or work-related accidents
• Ensuring compatibility during blood donation

Knowing the blood type of each employee is essential for personal health protection and occupational safety.

How Is Blood Type and Card Determined?

Blood typing is a simple test performed in a lab by analyzing a blood sample. It determines the blood group and Rh factor (positive or negative). The test is painless and results are obtained quickly. After identifying the blood type, this information is recorded on a blood type card. These cards, including the individual's identification details, can be carried for use in emergencies.

At İZKA OSGB, we provide fast and reliable blood typing services. Especially during the pre-employment medical report process, we perform this test to ensure maximum workplace safety.

When Should a Blood Type Test Be Done?

Blood type testing and card issuance are required in the following situations:

• As part of pre-employment health checks requested by occupational physicians
• To prepare for emergencies such as workplace accidents
• During blood donations or when a blood transfusion is medically needed
• Before surgical procedures to ensure blood compatibility

This test plays a critical role in enabling quick medical response in emergencies. Knowing the blood type of employees working in low-risk, hazardous, and high-risk jobs is vital in case of workplace accidents.

Why Should You Carry a Blood Type Card?

A blood type card is an important document showing an individual’s blood type and Rh factor. Carrying this card helps healthcare professionals make faster decisions during emergency interventions. Especially in situations requiring blood transfusions, a blood type card helps quickly locate the right and compatible blood. In workplaces, having this information on record enhances safety measures managed by occupational health physicians.
