Pre-Employment Physicals  —

 

Pre-employment physicals are becoming an increasingly important component of the hiring process for many businesses. Pre-employment physical exams provide employers with several benefits including preventing absenteeism (due to injury or illness) and reducing costs associated with Worker’s Compensation, rehiring and retraining employees.

 

Pre-employment physicals help employers:

 

Determine proper placement of employees and reasonable accommodation of qualified applicants. Pre-employment physicals assess medical conditions that may affect employees’ ability to safely perform their job requirements. The exams determine if employees can perform the essential functions of the job with or without job modifications. If the job will place the employee and/or others at risk of injury and reasonable accommodation cannot be made, the employer may refuse to hire the individual for the particular job. If a qualified applicant is able to perform the essential functions of another available position (with or without reasonable accommodation), the employer may offer the more suitable position.

 

Limit future liability for work-related injuries and illness. By identifying employees with conditions that predispose them to injury, pre-employment physicals help employers manage future risks and set a foundation for prevention procedures. Physical exam recommendations enable employers to limit future liability by making reasonable accommodation, relocating the employee to a more suitable position (if available) or reconsidering their offer of employment.

 

Establish employees’ baseline health status and promote workplace safety. Requiring potential new hires to submit to pre-employment physicals establishes employees’ medical condition at their date of hire, which creates a medical and legal information base. An employee’s inability to properly perform their job functions increases the risk of injury not only to themselves, but poses a risk to fellow employees and the general public. Pre-employment physicals promote workplace safety benefiting the company, the employees tested, co-workers and the public.

 

Superior Drug and DNA Testing’s nationwide network of clinics means that you always have a location nearby. We will match your company’s location(s) by zip code with the closest clinic locations available, and by aggregating the volume of all of our clients, we are able to negotiate very competitive rates. It is important to have a clear and complete job analysis, which sets the requirements for the physical examination. For each job description that you require a pre-employment (post-offer) physical, our experts will customize a job analysis to assist the physician with the physical exam; requirements may include “employee must be able to lift 35 pounds.” All medical recommendations are made in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Superior Drug and DNA Testing can also consult on OSHA, CALOSHA and other related safety programs.

 

Conducting pre-employment physicals is a simple process. After we establish which physician(s) you will send potential new hires to, applicants simply go to the physician, show identification and state your company name. SD&DT will notify you immediately when exam results are completed, generally within 2-3 days. Pre-Employment Physical Examination Reports, including any restrictions such as “no lifting over 35 pounds,” are provided via overnight courier.

 

Important Notice: The federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that employers may not require job applicants to “undergo medical examinations before they hold real offers of employment.
