Fitness for Work Assessments

A fitness for work assessment is a medical evaluation to determine whether an individual can perform the essential requirements of their role safely and effectively. It's a key part of managing workplace health and meeting your duty of care as an employer.

Our assessments are carried out by qualified occupational health physicians who understand both the clinical and practical aspects of workplace health. We look at the physical and psychological demands of the role alongside the individual's health status.

When you might need one

• Pre-employment or pre-placement screening for new starters
• Following a period of sickness absence
• Where there are concerns about an employee's ability to work safely
• For roles with specific health requirements (safety-critical, physical demands)

What to expect

The assessment typically involves a clinical history review, a focused examination where needed, and a clear report outlining fitness status with any recommended adjustments.
