You have regular health check-ups – do you know that your employer is also required to conduct checks on you? What does it check for? What is a occupational health examination? GBZ188-2014 \"Technical Specifications for Occupational Health Surveillance\" defines occupational health examinations as medical procedures and methods used to assess the potential health impacts and damages resulting from the occupational disease hazards to which workers are exposed. These examinations aim to determine the health status of workers, and to detect occupational diseases, contraindications to certain occupations, as well as other possible diseases and health issues at an early stage. Occupational health examinations are an important part of occupational health surveillance and a primary source of information. Occupational health examinations include pre-employment, during-employment, and post-employment health checks.
What is a occupational health examination? Occupational health examinations involve various tests and analyses to assess the impact of occupational hazards on the health of those exposed to them, as well as the extent of that impact. They help to determine the health status of employees, identify signs of health damage in a timely manner, and enable appropriate preventive measures to be taken in order to prevent the occurrence and progression of diseases caused by harmful factors. Occupational health examinations include pre-employment, during-employment, post-employment medical follow-ups as well as emergency health checks. You have regular physical examinations; do you know that your employer also needs to conduct examinations for you? What does it check for? Our company conducts occupational health checks for its employees approximately once a year. The inspection items should vary slightly depending on the device in question. The tests I underwent included blood and urine tests, pulse rate and blood pressure measurement, vital capacity testing, ultrasound examinations of the kidneys, liver, and spleen, chest X-rays, electrocardiograms, hearing tests, and knee reflex tests. The test results are usually available within 15 to 30 days.
An occupational health examination is conducted to identify, in a timely manner, any occupational contraindications or health damages related to work. It involves carrying out regular or irregular health checks on workers, based on their history of occupational exposure, and this is what constitutes an occupational health examination. Occupational health examinations include pre-employment checks, checks during employment, checks upon leaving the job, and emergency health checks in the event of occupational disease incidents. In essence, a occupational health examination is used to determine whether you have any occupational diseases or which types of work you are not suitable for.
