Why do you have to have an occupational health examination before taking up your post?

Pre-job occupational health examination refers to the specific physical examination conducted by the employer for the employees who are about to engage in dust operations. Occupational health examination before taking up the post is compulsory. It should be completed before the workers engage in the operation of receiving coarse dust. The newly hired personnel who are about to engage in dust operations, including those who are transferred to positions exposed to dust, should undergo occupational health examination before taking up their posts. The main purpose of pre-job occupational health examination is to know whether employees have occupational contraindications and are suitable for dust operations, so as to establish basic health records for employees engaged in dust operations. Occupational health examination for employees before taking up their posts is not to deprive employees with occupational contraindications of their labor rights, but to protect their health. The pre-job occupational health examination items of workers exposed to dust mainly include: understanding the occupational history, past history, tuberculosis contact history, taking X-ray chest film, lung function and other necessary laboratory tests.
