Pre-Employment MedicalsPre-Employment Medicals evaluate the health of the prospective employee to match the type of work and working conditions that the job involves. We work with you to evaluate the hazards and risks of the job to ensure that the prospective employee can work safely. Our standard packages are described below. If they do not meet your company's specific needs then we will be happy to create a bespoke solution for you. The results of the assessments are delivered to the employer as a written fitness statement. Questionnaire Based AssessmentThis is suitable for low-risk jobs such as desk-based office work. The applicant completes a questionnaire, which is assessed by an Occupational Health Advisor. When required we will contact the applicant's GP, or arrange a full medical examination. Examination and Interview Based AssessmentsOne of our Occupational Health Advisors conducts a structured health interview, which includes coverage of occupational history and health relevant to the job applied for. The examination includes :
Medical Assessments for High Risk PositionsFor high risk occupations we build onto the examination and interview assessment, adding extra screening as indicated by the job description and risk assessment. Where respiratory disease is a risk factor we carry out a lung function test and complete a questionnaire covering family history of asthma, exposure to asthmagens, and exposure to respiratory irritants. When skin disease is a risk factor we conduct a skin examination and complete a skin surveillance questionnaire, including any history of contact and allergic dermatitis, and other exposure to skin sensitisers and irritants. When noise exposure is a factor we carry out a hearing test and audiometry questionnaire. If the above examples do not meet your specific needs, please do contact us to discuss your requirements. |
