Provisions of labor law on physical examination

Physical examination is an important measure to protect workers' health rights and interests.

First, the physical examination object and cycle

According to the labor law, all workers should receive regular physical examination. The physical examination period is set according to the nature of work and the potential health risks of workers. Under normal circumstances, the physical examination cycle of general professional workers is once a year, while workers engaged in high-risk or special industries, such as chemical industry and mines, may need more frequent physical examinations.

Second, the contents and standards of physical examination

The contents of physical examination should comprehensively cover the physical condition of workers, including but not limited to physical examination, biochemical examination, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, etc. At the same time, for workers in specific industries and positions, special inspections are needed to assess whether they are suitable for continuing their current jobs. Physical examination standards should comply with relevant national laws and standards to ensure the accuracy and reliability of physical examination results.

Three, physical examination results processing and feedback

The employer shall obtain the physical examination results in time, and make professional analysis and evaluation on the results. For the health problems or suspected occupational diseases found, the employer shall promptly notify the workers and take corresponding treatment measures. At the same time, the employer should also establish the health records of workers, and record and track the physical examination results for future reference.

Four. Legal responsibility and supervision

Employers who violate the physical examination provisions of the labor law will bear corresponding legal responsibilities. Workers have the right to ask their employers for a medical examination and question the results of the medical examination. Relevant departments should strengthen the supervision of physical examination work to ensure the standardization of physical examination work.

To sum up:

Physical examination is an important measure to protect workers' health rights and interests. The employing unit shall strictly abide by the relevant regulations, conduct regular physical examinations on the workers, and timely handle the physical examination results.
