A good employer takes their duty of care towards their workforce seriously, which includes understanding what risks prospective and existing employees might face. An employee or applicant's pre-employment medical assessment helps to manage these risks at work in order to avoid illness or injury. There are also legal requirements and standards that must be met in some jobs. Pre-employment medical assessments are part of the employment process and are used to assess your suitability for the position and the physical work environment for which you are applying. This ensures that you or other employees are not at increased risk of injury. Employers want to ensure that you don't have any medical issues that will make you more likely to hurt yourself or others while working. Seeing a doctor for a pre-employment scan will help employees ensure that they are prepared for any physical demands of their job and not at high risk of injury. It also provides them with a clean bill of health if a workplace accident were to occur.
