When it comes to building a strong, safe, and productive workforce, hiring the right people is only part of the equation. Ensuring that new hires are physically and mentally fit for their job is equally important. That’s where pre-employment clearance exams come in. These exams, performed by licensed healthcare professionals, help employers confirm that candidates are healthy, capable, and ready to meet the demands of the workplace.
At Express Urgent Care in Diamond Bar, CA, we provide comprehensive pre-employment physicals designed to protect both employees and employers — ensuring a safer and healthier work environment from day one.
What Is a Pre-Employment Clearance Exam?
A pre-employment clearance exam, also known as a pre-employment physical, is a medical evaluation required by many employers before hiring a new employee. The goal is to assess the candidate’s overall health, physical fitness, and ability to perform essential job functions safely and effectively.
These exams vary depending on the type of job. For example:
- Office jobs may only require basic vitals and a general physical exam.
- Physically demanding or safety-sensitive jobs (like construction, transportation, or healthcare) may include vision and hearing tests, drug screenings, and strength or mobility assessments.
What Does the Exam Include?
While the exact components of a pre-employment clearance exam depend on the employer’s requirements, a typical visit at Express Urgent Care may include:
- Medical history review
- Vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, temperature, height, weight)
- Vision and hearing testing
- Musculoskeletal and flexibility assessment
- Cardiopulmonary evaluation
- Urinalysis and/or drug screening (if required)
- Immunization or TB testing for healthcare and educational positions
All findings are documented clearly and confidentially, ensuring compliance with HIPAA and employment health standards.
Why Are Pre-Employment Exams Important?
- Protect Workplace Safety
Identifying potential medical conditions or limitations before hiring helps prevent workplace accidents and injuries. - Promote Employee Health
Detecting early signs of illness can lead to timely medical intervention — benefitting both employees and employers. - Ensure Regulatory Compliance
Many industries (e.g., DOT, healthcare, and manufacturing) are legally required to verify employee fitness before starting work. - Reduce Workers’ Compensation Claims
Establishing a baseline health record helps distinguish between pre-existing conditions and workplace injuries later on.
