Pre-Employment Health Checks – Drug Test, Audiometry

Even the most skilled employees would not be able to perform their jobs well if they have health limitations. What is more, these limitations could leave them and their co-workers vulnerable to injuries, especially if they work near machines or use heavy equipment. With Forum Medical Centre’s robust pre-employment health screening, a company can prevent many losses.

Depending on the nature of the business and its work environment, each test would have a varying degree of significance.

Musculoskeletal examinations are helpful in screening an individual’s ability to bear weight, capacity to lift objects, range of motion, and overall physical condition.

The Drug Test and alcohol test are usually required for jobs where the operation of heavy machinery is expected. Aside from compliance with existing legislation, these tests help ensure the safety of your employee and the people around them and protect your assets.

An electrocardiogram can ensure that an individual’s heart is functioning correctly and has no abnormalities that could affect job performance. Audiometry tests will give prospective employers baseline data to help prevent hearing loss or treat it sooner.
