Pre-employment medical examination
Certain professions require a legal obligation to undergo a pre-employment medical examination before an individual is officially hired. This process ensures that potential employees complete specific medical and physical tests to assess their suitability for the role in question.
What does it involve?
A pre-employment medical examination is controlled by strict regulations. It is important to note that the examination can only take place after a candidate has been selected for the position. It is important to inform the candidate in advance, not only about the examination itself but also about the fact that it is a part of the recruitment process.
Except in a few situations required by law, the decision to carry out a pre-employment medical examination is up to you. If you are unsure whether this examination is needed, KLM Health Services can help you. We can also give you more information about why the examination is done and what it involves.
When is a pre-employment medical examination required?
- Legal requirements: In some situations, a pre-employment medical examination may be required by law, especially for jobs that have extra risks for employees.
- Hazardous working conditions: If the job involves dangerous situations, like working at heights or with harmful materials, a pre-employment medical examination may be recommended to make sure the candidate is physically and mentally able to do the job safely.
- Protecting employees: A pre-employment medical examination can help keep employees safe from health risks and injuries by checking that the candidate is fit to work safely. Because of this, it might be a good idea to carry out such an examination to ensure the health and safety of your employees.
