Pre-employment medical assessments

Pre employment assessments serve a major role as risk management tools by helping ensure potential employees are capable of safely undertaking a specific job.

By helping create a safer work environment, effective pre employments can minimise legal and OH&S risks, while also supporting employers discharge their duty of care.

To be effective pre employment assessments need to be specifically tailored to individual organisations and tasks. They must focus only on those requirements that are directly relevant to the applicant's ability to perform the essential or core requirements of the position.

Specifically, pre employment medicals:

  • screen for medical problems that may prelude an applicant from undertaking the duties of a particular position
  • determine if there are any medical conditions that may be exacerbated by the duties of a particular position, and the pre employment medical is an excellent opportunity
  • document baselines for comparison in the future, such as lung function, hearing and monitoring for hazardous substances.

Health For Industry is experienced in designing pre employment medicals tailored to the duties of your various positions and able to ensure that their completion respects privacy, industrial relations and anti-discrimination legislation.

Whether developed as a fully individualised assessment, or using generic procedures for standard job types our pre employment assessments allow organisations and employers answer the important questions of fitness for duty.
