A fit to work medical is a medical evaluation carried out by occupational health professionals to determine if a person is physically and mentally capable of performing their job. It is more than a general health check-up, as it focuses on the specific demands of the role, including physical, mental and sensory requirements. They can be done before starting a job or after an absence due to illness or injury. The goal is to identify any health conditions or limitations that could pose a risk to the individual or others in the workplace.
A fit to work medical will involve a medical history review, physical examination and lab work such as blood tests to establish a health baseline. It can also involve audio testing, blood pressure checks, BMI assessments, skin and lung function checks and hand-arm vibration screenings depending on the job role.
Additional assessments can include psychological evaluations for high-stress roles such as police or air traffic controllers. Tests are job-specific and aim to match a worker’s health with their duties, not to unfairly exclude them from employment.
