Pre-Employment Health Screening
Our pre-employment health screening service provides you with the following benefits:
- the medical assessment of an employee’s health prior to employment with a view to gauging their fitness to work
- a cost effective way of identifying health problems that may affect the prospective employee’s ability to give an effective and reliable service
- the potential to significantly reduce sickness absence levels
- provision of a base line health status of each employee at commencement of employment and is often useful as supporting evidence during and after employment
An example of a successful cost effective and widely adopted screening process is as follows:
- the employee completes a pre-employment health questionnaire
- the questionnaire is scrutinised by qualified occupational health professional who will determine fitness for work.
- where necessary the Occupational Health professional conducts a follow-up with the employee for further information
The company is then advised of the employee’s medical suitability for employment together with any recommendations. Limitations and adjustments required.
