Failing a physical exam can happen for various reasons. It doesn't always mean the person is unhealthy. Some of the most common reasons people fail their pre-employment physical include:   ● Drug use - A failed drug or alcohol screening can be a disqualifying factor in certain industries, especially for jobs that concern public safety. Common substances tested for include marijuana, cocaine, opioids, amphetamines and steroids. ● New medical concerns - If certain medical concerns or chronic illnesses are discovered during the screening, you may not meet the health requirements for highly physical positions. ● Incomplete medical history - If you fail to disclose accurate medical information during the physical, it can affect the outcome of the screening. ● Recent or unhealed injuries - A recent injury or unresolved medical issue can prevent someone from passing the physical.   Express Health Urgent Care understands that a failed physical can be frustrating.
