Pre-employment is the first step in ensuring the health of your employees. An as an employer you are responsible for making sure your staff are safe at work. To do this you need to know if there are any health problems that will be affected by their work.
Often employers think you need to be a big employer or have alot of staff to make pre-employment screening worthwhile. Some businesses feel they do not have the space or equipment on site to offer these services. But this is not necessarily the case.
Pre-employment screening can be quite a quick process involving nothing more than a postal questionnaire. So you dont always need a large amount of space or equipment. Sometimes a more detailed physical examination will be needed but this is not often.
Once you know what health issues your employees have than you can make decisions about the best way to protect them e.g.providing regular health surveillance such as hearing tests. All of this will not only benefit your employees health but also reduce the risk of litigation to your business.
