H04 - Health Screening & Management Referral

The Health Screening Procedure outlines the basic requirements for adopting a health screening programme. The implementation of this procedure will involve the input of an occupational health specialist.

The procedure informs of the reason why a health screening programme is desirable, who requires health screening, what should be included in a pre-employment assessment, and what should be undertaken on an on-going basis. It outlines directors’ and responsible managers’ responsibilities.

Additionally, there are two template documents that can be used to help an occupational health specialist gain access to an employee’s medical records.
