Dear Vipul Patel,
What is the nature of your industry? What types of operations are involved while developing your product or service?
Pre-employment medical check-ups are generally required for jobs that involve lifting weight, working at height, eye test for the drivers and so on. Nevertheless, there can be a common requirement amongst all and it is on "contagious disease" especially "Sexually Transmitted Diseases".
For Mr Prabhat Ranjan Mohanty: - You have given a good example of what happens when pre-employment medical check-ups are not done. Nevertheless, if the company starts denying employment even for blood pressure then it could pose a problem to employ candidates who are 40+ Secondly, what if the BP is normal but the cholesterol is high? What about those who have diabetes? What if the sugar shoots up while working and a person collapses at the workplace? There are too many ifs and buts.
Working in the Customer Service department is no easy task. Occasionally, the customers download their frustration on the CS Agent. Against this backdrop, an employee with normal blood pressure could develop the problem of BP. How to handle such a case? Should a company obtain a declaration from the employee stating that he/she should not ask for any compensation for developing an occupational disease?
Thanks,
Dinesh Divekar
