Pre-employment Health Screening

Recruiting an employee means having to comply with a whole range of medical requirements. The law obliges an employer to ensure that a candidate is medically fit for the job being offered and that they will not be put in a position that could aggravate an existing medical condition.

Additionally, workplace health and safety legislation dictates that you should be fully aware of how any existing medical conditions could affect other employees in your organisation or members of the public. You must also comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).

Making incorrect decisions can be expensive and time-consuming to manage. There are many grey areas which will require expert advice to interpret. Suppose, for example, that an applicant with a disability really isn’t suitable for the job in question? Where does that leave you with regard to the DDA? Or how can you be sure that an existing medical condition won’t be aggravated by a particular role?

Our Pre-employment Health Assessment service will provide the vital information you need to make a fully informed decision.
