The Brief Physical Assessment Only Checks The Hands, Wrists, Heart And Lungs. A Medical History Is Included Which Will Benefit The Employer In Determining Previous Injuries And Illnesses.

ANNUAL FULL PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Many Companies Are Concerned About Their Employee’s Health And Well Being. Ideally, Annual Physical Examinations Should Be Conducted On A Regular Basis By The Employee’s Family Physician Who Can Detect Changes From Baseline Medical Data That Has Been Collected Throughout An Employee’s Lifetime. It Is A Well-Known Fact That Few Employees Have A Regular Family Physician And Even Less Visit Their Family Physician For A Thorough Annual Examination. By Offering An Annual Physical Examination Conducted By An Occupational Health Professional, Your Company Will Promote The Importance Of Health And Wellness. Physical Examinations Will Focus On Changes From Baseline Some Which May Occur Due To Work-Related Conditions. Detecting Employee Health Problems And Promoting Treatment Options Will Keep Valuable Human Resources Healthy And Productive. The Cost Of This Physical Varies According To Employee Age And Gender.
