Why is the Pre-Employment Physical Examination Necessary?
Before being given the final job position, applicants are often asked to provide information from a recent physical examination. This helps Stratford employers to be aware of any health conditions that could potentially influence their ability to work in the position. The tests performed at DOCS Urgent Care are specific and examine a variety of abilities.
The physical examinations at our Stratford clinic go beyond physical abilities and also deal with medication testing. Medication can have strong side effects on individuals, and people react differently to certain medication. Some may increase drowsiness, which can be dangerous when operating either heavy or meticulous machinery.
If the position being applied for is considered a “high stress occupation,” we also perform additional screenings to evaluate mental health. This is to ensure safety for both your employee, as well as the entire workplace. We further offer drug testing to optimize safety for your Stratford business.

These include blood testing, hair testing, mouth swabs, and urinalysis.
