Pre-Employment Health Assessment
A pre employment assessment on the health status of a potential employee is the key to ensuring an individual is fit for the job they are undertaking without posing a risk to themselves or to those around them. It will clarify any health issues with the applicant as it is essential that a prospective employee does not undertake a job where a particular work activity could aggravate a pre-existing medical condition and identify and adjustments that may need to be undertaken. It also provides a baseline and a documented record of an employee’s health status at the beginning of their employment.

Pre employment assessments take the form of a clinical questionnaire and additionally, a consultation with the occupational health physician, a medical examination and GP report if required. Once this assessment is complete, a fitness certificate will be issued and advice given in relation to the applicability of the Disability Discrimination Act where relevant.
