Employee Fitness

An important overall goal of the occupational health field is to help improve employee safety even before their first day on a new job. A drug screening, for example, can help make sure that new hires are the right fit to perform their job tasks safely. In cases of physically demanding work, the pre-placement exam can be critical to preventing potential injuries on the job by first assessing consistency of an employee’s fitness level with the demands of the job. This includes the DOT physical, which is mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Administration, and helps to determine if a driver is physically, mentally and emotionally fit to operate a commercial motor vehicle.
