No Fuss Pre-Employment Medicals Laurieton NSW
A Pre-Employment Medical assesses and
evaluates an individual’s physical capacity to safely
perform the critical demands of a new employment
role.
It should also benchmark any progressive disability.
This information would limit the extent of liability for
the employer should that person become injured.
Failing to implement an appropriate assessment
protocol would leave the employer open to
potential high risk employees and subsequent
compensation claims.
Our doctors are skilled at obtaining information
about current and past injuries and ailments that a
job applicant may have kept from the employer.
Our Pre-Employment Medical will help with your
risk management as an employer, helping you
identify candidates who have pre-existing injuries
or conditions that may affect you down the track.
However, a Pre-Employment Medical cannot
include tests for disability. Employers cannot
discriminate against a potential employee with a
pre-existing condition, unless it would directly
interfere with performance of their duties.
Profiles written up in these medicals include:
- Height
- Weight
- Audiometry
- Spirometry
- Urinalysis
- Vision
- Blood Pressure
- BMI (Body Mass Index)
Some medical checks might also ask for Urine Drug Screening and ABI (Ankle-Brachial Index), which checks for risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition that may be a problem if the job requires standing for long periods.
Employees who attend for a Pre-Employment Medical should bring their driver’s licence or other photo ID. If they wear spectacles, contact lenses or hearing aids, they should bring them too.
