Pre-Placement Medicals
Pre-placement medicals determine worker fitness and set the baseline to evaluate future injuries.
Pre-placement medicals are an important component of a complete occupational program. They can also establish claims for SIEF (the Second Injury and Enhancement Fund), and help assign employees to workstations that best suit their physical capabilities.
To match the right employee to the right position, clients are asked to provide us a complete physical demands analysis for the position in question. For those who do not have existing physical demands analyses, Workplace Medical can arrange for a third party to generate one. Pre-placement medicals can include complete physicals, vision and audio screening, back stress tests, X-rays, and urine drug screening.
If you would like assistance with your pre-placement medicals, contact us.
