Why is the Pre-Employment Physical Examination Necessary?

Pre-employment physicals allow for the employer to have peace of mind about their chosen hire, helping to allow them to see how each applicant’s health could influence their employment. Specifically, these tests are designed to examine each patient and test for their general health as well as their physical abilities.

We test each individual for various medications and compare them to see how they could potentially affect their performance at work. Some medications can cause drowsiness, which is extremely dangerous for employees to be operating heavy machinery under. Screenings are used for occupations that may have a high stress environment to ensure that mental disorders like depression aren’t present.
