Health Assessment
Book OnlinePre-Employment and periodic Health Assessments are available to determine a prospective or existing employee’s fitness for duty. A baseline or ongoing record of the individual’s general health, physical condition, and pre-existing injuries or risk factors is established using various evaluation methods, including:
- Occupational and personal health history, physical examination, basic vision assessment, musculoskeletal assessment, wrist/elbow/shoulder assessment, grip strength assessment, back fitness evaluation, basic lifting assessment, blood pressure, and urinalysis.
- These evaluation tools can also be utilized individually in a stand-alone assessment format (ie. Stand-alone lifting assessment, stand-alone vision assessment, stand-alone back fitness evaluation).
The individual is classified according to their performance on the evaluation tools and their ability to meet the physical demands of the position. Any health concerns or risk factors that are identified will be communicated to the employer. Should the individual require further follow up, a physician referral form will be provided.
Certain positions require a higher level of physical fitness to meet the physical demands of the position. A more rigorous Physical Fitness Screen is available to be provided in conjunction with the RN Health Assessment. This intensive screen will assess aerobic fitness and will also include an in-depth lifting and carrying assessment, large muscle group strength evaluation, fine muscle dexterity assessment, ladder climb assessment, and a comprehensive flexibility assessment.
RN Health Assessments with a Physical Fitness Screen are reported within the same half day of completion of the assessment.
