This can be a crucial area in terms of both protecting employee safety and preventing costly claims against your organisation. Medical assessments can, and should be made, at various points during the employment process, to ensure you have the right documentation and information available at all stages.
Pre-Employment Health Assessments: These help ensure prospective employees are suitable for their proposed roles, and include recommendations for any physical restrictions that may be necessary. The worker is assessed according to the inherent tasks of the role, and a comprehensive report identifying their suitability is supplied.
Termination Medicals: These document the health status and level of fitness of employees at the time they leave your company. This helps to cover your organisation against any future Workers’ Compensation claim, if an employee has signed off as to their health and fitness at the time of departure.
Specialised Industry Medicals: ROMAW can perform a range of specialised medical examinations required for particular industries including truck, railway, forklift, fire fighting and confined space.
Functional Assessments: Pre-employment Functional Screening provides an assessment of an applicant’s functional abilities. This is then compared to the criteria supplied by the company or from a detailed worksite assessment. Only relevant postures, weight limits, endurances, working heights and activities required for the position are tested to create a unique, job specific functional screen.
