Fit to Work Medicals

“Fit to Work” or “Fitness to Work” is a medical assessment performed to assess whether an employee can safely carry out a specific job or task. The medical assessment determines if an employee is medically fit to perform the job or task that they are employed to do.

Do you know if your employees are fit for the work that they do? Perhaps they have existing health problems that could be made worse by certain jobs. If so, they could be putting themselves and you at risk? If an employee is not suitable for the work they do, then there is the risk of future ill health and absence. If you are unsure of their suitability for the job then you need professional advice.

Employment Medicals are a way of protecting your workforce and should be a part of your organisation’s risk assessment process. If your employees are at risk of injury than your business is at risk of litigation.

Our Occupational Health Advisors assess physical, mental capacities, sensory acuity and level of skill, etc. Our qualified Occupational Health Adviser will assess an individual and the work they will be doing. The assessment will include physical and mental capabilities, existing and past health conditions including medication and previous employment risks. Our Adviser will then provide the employer with a report.
