That way, if you think that you were illegally denied employment due to a disability revealed during the exam, your employer can't say that he rejected you for some other reason. The exam must be related to the work you will be doing. For example, if you are going to be an office receptionist, you normally shouldn't be asked to lift 75-pound weights as part of the medical exam. On the other hand, if you are applying for a parcel service job, the employer might be able to reject you if you can't lift a 75-pound weight. Generally, the results of the exam must be kept in a file separate from your regular personnel file and should not be revealed to anyone except a medical practitioner.
