The best part of starting a new job is the thrill of the new beginning – the new coworkers, the new tasks, the new way to work. At the beginning of any new job, there are also several boxes you have to check on your “pre-employment checklist.” One of those is often the pre-employment physical. Why do you have to do it? And how can you make it as painless as possible? We tell you in today’s article.
Why is it necessary?
Employment physicals are one of many tasks that new employees have to take care of. Algunas veces, it seems as though it is pointless – you feel healthy, so why get everything checked? Well, depending on your job role, it could save your life. Getting an employment physical helps the employer know that you are coming into the job with no pre-existing conditions that could affect your work. They check whether you have any symptoms like dizziness, joint or back pain, or persistent coughing, review your medical history, and check that you have all your vaccinations.
If you have any prior illnesses or injuries, it doesn’t preclude you from working. It just means that employers know what to be careful of. Por ejemplo, if you have a problem with blood clotting, your employer won’t put you on the shipping line, where you might get a paper cut or worse from a machine, but on the packing line. If you have back pain, you won’t have to lift more than 50 pounds. It protects you and the employer.
