FAQs
A Pre-Employment Medical is a health assessment designed to ensure that prospective employees are medically fit for their role. It helps employers identify any health conditions that may require workplace adjustments, ensuring a safe and productive working environment.
A Pre-employment assessment may be carried out in the form of a questionnaire or a face to face assessment. Depending on a job role, the face to face medical may take different forms and will be discussed with the employer at engagement with us.
Following a pre-employment medical, employers will expect to know if their employee is fit to work in the role they are to be employed to carry out. For more information, get in touch.
A Pre-employment Medical may assist an employer and a prospective employee in several ways:
- Ensuring that a potential employee can carry out the proposed role
- Identifying any reasonable adjustments necessary
- Destination and risks at destination
- Ensuring that there will be no adverse effect of the proposed role on pre-existing medical conditions
Most employment medicals take between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the role and required tests.
Medical information is always kept confidential and only a fitness-for-work outcome is shared with the employer, unless consent is provided otherwise.
It is important to note that the assessment is not about passing or failing, but determining fitness for specific job duties and identifying any limitations or accommodations needed.
