What are Employment Medicals?

Employment medicals are detailed health assessments aimed at evaluating whether a worker is fit to perform the physical and mental demands of a specific job.

Unlike routine medical exams, our assessments are tailored to the unique requirements of each role, taking into account not only the job description but also the safety and environmental conditions of the workplace.

At Phoenix Occupational Medicine, we integrate comprehensive medical history, family history, and occupational health insights to deliver assessments that provide meaningful, actionable results.

Customised Medical Assessments for Every Role

Our employment medicals are customised to match the capacity of the worker with the demands of their role. In high-risk industries where physical fitness is essential, such as mining, construction, or manufacturing, it’s necessary to hire workers who can meet specific requirements with minimal risk to themselves and others.

We go beyond the basics, with assessments that include:

Baseline medicals: Height, weight, BMI, cardiovascular exams, musculoskeletal exams, and respiratory testing.

Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE): Measures physical flexibility, strength, and aerobic fitness, ensuring the worker can perform physically demanding tasks, especially in confined spaces, at heights, or around hazardous materials.

Specialised testing: Visual acuity, hearing tests (audiometry), drug and alcohol testing, chest x-rays, and spirometry.

Our goal is to provide employers with accurate insights to make informed hiring and health management decisions, ensuring a safer workplace for everyone.

FAQs

What is a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)?

An FCE is a specialised assessment that evaluates a worker’s physical strength, flexibility, and aerobic fitness. It is particularly useful for roles requiring manual labour, confined space work, or exposure to hazardous environments.

Do All Job Roles Require a Pre-Employment Medical?

Not every role requires a pre-employment medical, but it is strongly recommended for positions with high physical demands or safety risks. Some industries, such as construction or mining, may require statutory medicals due to regulatory requirements.

Which Legislated Medicals do you provide?

We provide a range of legislated medicals – some of which are also called Health Surveillance. These medicals include: asbestos medicals; silica medicals; lead medicals; isocyanate medicals; Queensland Coal Mine Workers Health Scheme and more.

How Long Do Pre-Employment Medical Results Take?

The time it takes to receive results can vary depending on the complexity of the assessment and the specific tests performed. Typically, results are processed within a few days to a week, and employers are provided with a comprehensive report on the worker’s fitness for the job.
