What are Work Physicals?

Work physicals, also known as pre-employment physicals, are medical examinations conducted to assess an individual's physical and mental ability to perform job-specific tasks. These evaluations help determine if an individual is fit for a particular job and identify any health concerns that may affect their work.

When would I need a Work Physical?

You may need a work physical when applying for a new job or when your current employer requires it as part of their occupational health and safety program. Work physicals are essential for ensuring that you can safely meet the physical and mental demands of your job role.

What can I expect at a work physical appointment?

During a work physical appointment, you can expect a series of tests and screenings, including but not limited to:

  • Blood pressure, temperature, and heart rate measurements
  • Physical examinations to assess overall health and fitness
  • Vision and hearing tests
  • Blood and urine tests
  • Tuberculosis testing
  • Immunization history review
  • COVID-19 and COVID-19 antibody testing, if required
