The recent trend amongst many employers has been to conduct “pre-employment medical screening” on their new hires. Unfortunately, even though a thorough physical examination and history may make it appear that the applicant is capable of fulfilling the demands of his future job, information gathered during the medical interview may be bogus, and, through no fault of the Medical Examiner, must be taken at face value.

Many employers have been financially buried by hiring apparently healthy individuals who easily passed both history, physical examination, and diagnostic testing, but concealed serious past medical histories which subsequently resulted in millions of dollars in workmen’s’ compensation payouts, sick leave, and general loss of productivity.

Some applicants may be suffering from medical conditions which would make it unsafe for them to fulfill the tasks of their future jobs, such as an individual with a history of seizures or dizzy spells operating a piece of heavy machinery or a fork lift; a person with a serious back impairment doing heavy lifting; a person with an untreated, potentially unstable psychiatric condition dealing directly with the public; or an untreated alcoholic/drug addict trying to reliably perform any type of job.

Hiring an unfit worker would put both existing workers and the general public in danger. Clearly, the responsibility for preventing this potentially disastrous situation lies squarely in the hands of the employer.
