Pre-employment and pre-placement medical exams are recommended to be conducted for employee job capability.
A Pre-Employment Questionnaire should be completed by prospective employees at the time of application, selection or position offering. This is to bench mark the person’s current health and physical well-being and to ensure that any potential for work injury or work-related illness through exposure to the particular tasks is minimised.
A Consent Form is required be used whenever there is a requirement to evaluate the extent of an employee’s medical condition (pre-existing or developed) in conjunction with the employee’s treatment provider.
These forms, when fully implemented, cover the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act (2015).
