Medical Examination for Admission to Employment
According to the legislation, medical examination at admissionto work is a necessary requirement. If it is not fulfilled, you will simply be denied employment. Why do I need a physical examination? First, the employer must be sure that his employee is fully healthy and can perform his duties qualitatively. Secondly, it is necessary to exclude the slightest possibility of spreading infectious diseases. For example, if you work in the service industry or in the food industry.
Compulsory medical examination
The Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for a certain number of persons for whom a medical examination in employment is compulsory:
minors (under the age of 18);
people working in dangerous or unhealthy conditions;
people working in the trade, catering or food industries;
educators, teachers in schools, higher educational institutions;
employees of medical institutions;
workers of sanatoriums, public institutions, swimming pools, baths;
workers who often go on long business trips lasting more than three months;
workers who move to the extreme northern regions of the country;
drivers of transport (official or public).
This is an approximate list that coversmany professions. For example, medical examination of women in employment in a bath is absolutely necessary, since their activities are related to the cleaning of premises where direct contact with the skin occurs, communication with visitors, etc. And if a pretender has a fungal or infectious disease, it should not be allowed to work.
How is the medical examination?
Medical examination for the employment of women and menpasses almost the same, except for visits to specialized doctors (gynecology). Otherwise, all employees undergo the same procedures.
The medical examination includes the following stages:
A candidate for a position or an employee receives from the employer a referral for a medical examination in a medical institution.
According to the form developed in the personnel department of the enterprise, a person undergoes examinations from the necessary doctors.
Doctors enter these analyzes into a medical book (you have to buy a medknichka yourself).
If no disease is detected, a persona conclusion is given on a successfully passed medical examination, which he must transfer to the employer. If, during the examination, the diseases were found, then after their treatment a second medical examination is carried out.
As a rule, the medical examination takesjust a couple of days. Most tests can be prepared on that day, except for fluorography or blood tests. If you go through the procedure at a public clinic, it will take about a week. This is explained by a large queue of exactly the same people wishing to undergo a physical examination. If you do not have the opportunity to wait, for an additional fee you can go through all the specialists for one day in a private clinic and immediately get a conclusion.
The medical examination at employment can becomean excellent opportunity not only to get an official job, but also to take care of your health in time. It is recommended that the procedure be performed every few months or annually, depending on the nature of the activity.
