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.
