What Services Does Construction Medical Test Provide?

At Construction Medical Test, we offer a range of occupational health services for the construction sector:

• Pre-Employment Checks: Assess whether potential hires are medically able to undertake the tasks their role demands.
• Safety-Critical Medicals: Evaluate the health of workers in roles where safety is a key concern, ensuring they can perform tasks without risk to themselves or others.
• Periodic Assessments: Regular health checks to maintain ongoing fitness for work, reducing workplace accidents.
• Fitness-for-Work Evaluations: Determine a worker’s ability to perform safely after illness or injury.

When Is a Medical Assessment Needed?

Medical assessments are needed in various situations. At Construction Medical Test, we provide pre-employment checks to screen new hires, ensuring they meet the physical and mental demands of their intended roles, aligned with Health and Safety at Work standards.

Safety-critical medicals are crucial when workers take on roles that impact the safety of others, such as crane operators or scaffolders, where even slight impairments could lead to serious accidents. We adhere to the Safety in Employment Regulations by providing these evaluations regularly or when a change in the worker’s condition or role occurs.

Periodic assessments are necessary to maintain workforce health by detecting underlying conditions early, preventing long-term absence and reducing overall operational risk. Fitness-for-work evaluations help confirm a worker’s readiness to return post-injury through Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE) and work simulation tasks.
