Pre Placement Medicals
Ensuring the right fit for your workforce, our pre-placement medical assessments identify potential health risks and confirm employees are fit for work in safety-critical roles. At Sigma Health, we help businesses across the UK meet occupational health and compliance standards, reducing workplace risks and ensuring adherence to industry regulations.
What are Pre Placement medicals?
Pre placement medicals are comprehensive occupational health assessments conducted before an individual starts a new job. These evaluations ensure that potential employees are physically and mentally fit for work, reducing workplace health risks and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
At Sigma Health, we understand the importance of selecting candidates who can safely and effectively perform their job duties from day one. Our pre placement medical assessments are tailored to meet the specific requirements of industries such as railway (PTS Medicals), construction (HS2, traffic management companies), and offshore sectors (OEUK Medicals).
We go beyond basic health checks by identifying underlying medical conditions that could impact job performance or workplace safety. Our comprehensive health screenings include fit to work evaluations, drug and alcohol testing, and specialist medicals to help employers maintain a healthy, compliant, and risk-free workforce. By prioritising employee well-being and workplace safety, Sigma Health ensures your team is fit, compliant, and ready to excel from day one.
Our Commitment to Excellence
Right People
Confucius said, “The right people in the right place.” When hiring new employees, ensuring they are medically fit for the role is just as important as their skills and experience. Pre placement medicals play a vital role in identifying potential health risks and ensuring that new hires are physically and mentally prepared to perform their duties safely and efficiently.
By proactively assessing employee health before they start, businesses can reduce absences, prevent workplace incidents, and ensure long-term workforce well-being. Trust Sigma Health to support your business in building a safer, healthier, and compliant workforce from day one.
