Pre-Employment Health Screening

The purpose of pre-employment health screening is to assess the health and fitness of any prospective employee to fulfil the duties expected of them.

• By completing a pre-employment questionnaire, an initial assessment can be made as to the suitability of prospective employees for the role which they have been selected to fill.
• Physical and psychological well being, current or past illnesses or injuries, can all impact on the effectiveness of employees to perform to the best of their abilities and may affect the performance of their colleagues too.
• Workplace hazards and their potential to affect the health of new employees should also be regularly assessed.

Pre-employment health screening is tailored to meet the specific requirements of each company and can include specific tests, such as spirometry or audiometry as appropriate.
