Pre-Employment Physicals in Oklahoma City, OK
What Are Pre-Employment Physicals?
If you’re a candidate for a new job, the employer may require a pre-employment physical to assess whether you are qualified to physically perform the job-related responsibilities needed for your employment. These exams are meant to prevent workplace accidents or injuries and promote general wellness among employees. At Okey Weight Management Clinic in Oklahoma City, OK, Dr. Okey Nwokolo may perform a number of pre-employment screenings, which may include basic assessments of the employee’s vital signs and physical abilities. To learn more about pre-employment physicals, schedule a consultation with our team as soon as possible.
What to Expect from Pre-Employment Physicals
A general pre-employment physical may involve recording your vital signs by checking your weight, pulse, blood pressure, temperature, and other possible vital signs. Dr. Nwokolo may also record your respiratory and cardiovascular health, reflexes, range of motion, vision, and hearing. Besides assessing your vitals, Dr. Nwokolo may conduct an alcohol and drug screening, especially if the job requires you to drive or operate heavy machinery. Your mental health and well-being may also be evaluated. Our practitioner may perform a mental health assessment, inquiring about your history of depression and other symptoms and asking various questions to evaluate your ability to deal with on-the-job stress.
If the job requires heavy labor or lifting, your employer may require a test for stamina and physical ability, which measures the following:
- Cardiovascular health
- Reaction under physical pressure
- Flexibility
- Balance
- Strength
- Function/ability
- Muscular tension
