There are many different kinds of physical exams available to patients, depending on their needs. Many people of all ages will get regular, often annual, physical exams as part of their ongoing health and wellbeing monitoring. A pre-employment work physical is a physical exam that is performed with the specific intention of determining if a potential employee is physically fit enough to perform the tasks inside of a job they would be required to perform. The pre-employment physical can only be requested after the prospective employee has been extended a conditional offer of employment. The pre-employment work physical will vary based on the specific job the employee is applying or interviewing for and cannot be used to rule out a prospective employee on the basis of a physical or mental disability. The work can identify and provide recommendations for accommodations of any disabilities for the employee to be able to perform the tasks of a job. A pre-employment work physical can include a physical ability and stamina test, psychological test and drug screening test, depending on the type of work the prospective employee would be performing and the company’s policies.
