A comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s medical history and current physical health to identify any potential risks or conditions that may affect job performance. This includes checking vital signs, overall physical fitness, and pre-existing medical conditions. The goal is to ensure candidates are medically fit for their intended roles.
This assessment measures a candidate’s ability to perform specific job-related physical tasks, such as lifting, bending, or repetitive motions. It evaluates strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination to ensure they can safely meet the physical demands of the role. Functional testing minimizes the risk of workplace injuries and helps match the right person to the right job.
A critical test conducted to detect the presence of drugs or alcohol in a candidate’s system. This ensures compliance with workplace safety regulations and reduces the risk of accidents caused by substance use. Employers can maintain a safer, healthier workplace by addressing potential risks before hiring.
These tests evaluate a candidate’s sensory capabilities, ensuring their eyesight and hearing meet the requirements of the job. Vision testing often includes checks for acuity, colour blindness, and depth perception, while hearing tests assess sensitivity to various frequencies. These assessments are essential for roles involving precise visual or auditory tasks.
This test measures how well a candidate’s lungs are functioning by assessing airflow and lung capacity. It is especially important for roles where respiratory health is critical, such as jobs involving exposure to airborne particles or hazardous environments. Spirometry helps identify any potential respiratory issues before employment.
An ECG is used to evaluate heart health by recording the electrical activity of the heart. It is particularly useful for roles requiring significant physical exertion or in candidates with a history of cardiac issues. This test ensures candidates are fit to handle physically demanding tasks safely.
