EMPLOYMENT PHYSICALS.

A pre-employment physical examines many health components, including:

Vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature
Abdomen health to determine liver, bowel, and other organ functionality
Skin appearance to determine if there are signs or symptoms of other underlying illnesses
Heart and lung exam

You also may want to supplement your employee’s pre-employment physicals with additional testing such as:

Drug and alcohol screenings
Vision testing
TB testing
Titers
Labs
Audiometry testing or hearing conservation programs

These additional tests provide accurate measurements of your employee’s wellness and ensure essential factors such as vision and hearing meet job requirements.

How Can My Employees Prepare for Their Pre-Employment Physical?

While an employee can’t change their health overnight, they can prep themselves for the physical by getting together a few things:

Paperwork you’ve given them detailing what services they need, including lab orders if necessary
Aids they might need such as glasses, hearing aids, etc. for additional tests
A valid form of ID such as a driver’s license, state or federal ID, or an employer-issued badge
List of medications, past surgeries, medical conditions, and allergies
