What is a pre-employment medical check up?



For any business to thrive, it is absolutely essential to employ a healthy workforce. This is especially true when welcoming a new employee into the workforce.
Here’s where our pre-employment checkup procedure steps in and helps you ensure that the candidate is healthy enough to perform the set of tasks for which they are being hired.
Let’s look at a few examples.
We’ll begin with the airline industry. Here, candidates are made to undergo the following tests
  • CHEST X-RAY
  • VISION TESTS
  • HEARING TESTS (AUDIOMETRY)
  • BASIC PATHOLOGY TESTS
Another example is the food industry. Here, the workers are tested to ensure that they are free of the following health issues:
  • TYPHOID
  • GASTROENTERITIS
  • JAUNDICE
  • AN ARRAY OF SKIN AILMENTS
Pre-employment check-ups act as the first line of defense against potential health-related mishaps and therefore, help boost efficiency. They also help in detecting past medical conditions such as TB, which may not have been mentioned by the candidate during the interview. All these factors help employers make informed decisions during the recruitment process.
