Pre-Employment Medical Assessments - why they're important.

Pre-Employment Medical Assessments are carried out to ensure an employee is fit to work in a specific environment, can fulfil the requirements of a role, can travel overseas and to protect them from potentially harmful work environments.

They also ensure your candidate has no pre-existing conditions they might try to say were caused while in your employ.

Pre-employment and periodic medical assessments assist with managing your company’s occupational health and safety risks by identifying any potential or pre-existing medical issues.

Medical assessments conducted through The Positive Health Group are completed by an examining doctor and medical support staff including nurses, physiotherapists, exercise physiologists and certified screeners that have a number of years’ experience in the occupational health industry.
