Employment Physicals

What are employment physicals?

An employment physical is a medical exam that determines if you’re physically and mentally capable of performing the duties required of a job. This exam can also minimize work-related injuries and enhance overall workplace safety for all employees.

Many employers require that new hires pass a pre-employment physical before confirming a job offer. White River Family Care, LLC offers comprehensive employment physicals for adults and adolescents that meet regulatory and compliance requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Department of Transportation (DOT), and other organizations.

The skilled medical team has extensive experience in completing employment physicals for prospective hires in many industries, including firefighters. They provide the necessary documents your employer needs to complete the hiring process.

When should I schedule an employment physical?

Schedule an employment physical at White River Family Care, LLC as soon as your new employer requests to prevent hiring delays. Some companies may also require routine physicals one or more times a year to maintain employment.

The medical team also recommends that you schedule a physical before starting a new job, even if it’s not a required part of the hiring process. An exam gives you peace of mind that you’re healthy and not at risk for complications that might interfere with your job.

What happens during employment physicals?

During your employment physical at White River Family Care, LLC, the team reviews your personal and family medical histories to identify risk factors for certain conditions. They may also request bloodwork to check for underlying medical issues that interfere with your physical health and ability to work.

An employment physical may also include:

• Hearing and vision tests
• Blood pressure screening
• Lung function testing
• Physical abilities test
• Cardiovascular evaluation
• Drug testing

If you have an existing health condition, the team may recommend additional diagnostic tests to determine if you need treatment or if your current treatment is working well.

Once your physical is complete, the team provides the documents your employer needs to complete the hiring process. They may also recommend strategies you can use to stay healthy on the job and prevent work-related injuries.
