A ‘Fit for Work Medical’ is a medical evaluation conducted to determine if an employee can safely fulfil a particular job or duty. This assessment assesses whether the employee is physically capable of performing the tasks required for their employment.
If an employee’s suitability for their job is in question, it poses a risk of future health issues and absenteeism. Seeking professional guidance is crucial if uncertainties arise regarding their suitability.
Employment Medicals play a vital role in safeguarding your workforce and should be integrated into your organisation’s risk assessment protocol. When employee safety is compromised, the risk of legal action against your business escalates.
