Pre-employment Screening - Determination of Fitness

Is the employee physically capable of performing all required tasks under the expected site conditions? This is an important question, and the answer must be a definitive "Yes" to ensure the safety of not just this particular employee but also of other site personnel. To answer this question, employers must conduct the first portion of pre-employment screening: Determination of Fitness for Duty Workers.

To ensure that prospective employees are able to meet work requirements, the pre-employment screening should focus on the following areas:

• A review of occupational and medical history
• Physical examination
• A test of one's ability to work while wearing protective equipment
