Pre-employment health screening, also called pre-placement screening, checks before a new employee starts that their health is compatible with the demands and potential hazards of the role. It can uncover pre-existing conditions that the job could aggravate or that could pose a safety risk, and it establishes a baseline health record.
What pre-employment health screening includes
-
Health questionnaire. A detailed questionnaire covering medical history, lifestyle factors and any current health concerns.
-
New starter medical. Depending on the role, vision and hearing tests, blood pressure and vital signs, and a musculoskeletal assessment.
Benefits of pre-placement screening
- Compliance with health and safety legislation, HSE guidance and the Equality Act 2010
- Fewer workplace accidents and injuries
- Improved employee morale and productivity
- Lower insurance costs and compensation claims
- Enhanced employer reputation and social responsibility
- Guidance on workplace health and safety
Who needs it?
New employees after a job offer has been made and before employment starts, with the medical element matched to the role.
