Some employers require that their employees undergo a fitness for duty medical exam. In general, the need for this examination is linked to the type of work that is performed on the job. After you recover from an illness or injury, your employer will let you if they require you to have one of these before being allowed to return to work. The examination looks at more than just your physical condition. Our doctors at
Katy Gaston Urgent Care will evaluate how to you feel psychologically. Your employer needs this information to make sure that you are ready to return to the job.
Once the exam has been passed, you simply go back to work. However, if you don’t pass it, there are different options. Either you ask for a leave of absence extension or ask your employer to assign you to a different, perhaps less strenuous, position. When jobs are particularly dangerous or demanding, these regular fitness exams may be required on a periodic basis. The primary reason, in this scenario, is to reduce risk for other employees.
It’s understood that workers are ready to go back to work after their leave is over. That’s why Moore Life Urgent Care provides so many different services, such as:
Return To Work Assessments: This assessment is designed when the leave was used due to a non-work related problem. It is highly focused and determines if the employee is ready to go back to work.
Fitness For Duty Evaluations: This exam doesn’t take much time and is used to cover incidents that may have occurred either at work or away from work. A written report is sent to the employer.
OSHA’s Medical Surveillance Exam: After an employee has been exposed to harmful chemicals or other materials in the work place, OSHA requires that a detail physical examination be done. When employees are regularly exposed to low levels of these materials, it is advised that this examination be done periodically to catch problems early.
