Workplace Physician Service

The workplace physician carries out workers' pre-employment and periodic health examinations, plans health surveillance according to occupational risks and informs the employer and worker in cases of work accidents and occupational disease. The service is provided under the physician's duty of medical confidentiality.

Service scope

• Pre-employment examination and fitness-for-work report
• Periodic examination programme (audiometry, lung function test, eye and blood tests)
• Health surveillance according to measurement and risk assessment results
• First-aid organisation and worker health training
• Other health personnel (nurse) service where required

Confidentiality

Examination results are visible in the portal only to the workplace physician. The employer is given only the decision "fit", "fit with restrictions" or "unfit" and restriction information without the reason. Examination and report durations are written in the contract and increased as headcount grows.

Reporting

At the end of each monthly visit the number of examinations, health risks found and recommended measures are summarised. At year end the workplace physician adds general health trends to the annual evaluation report.
