Legal analysis
Except for toxic and harmful posts, there are no clear requirements for ordinary posts. The employing unit shall regularly carry out health examination for underage workers, and the labor law stipulates that underage workers are 16 years old to 18 years old. When employing underage working hours, the employer must have a physical examination at the expense of the employer, and then have a physical examination once a year until they reach the age of 18, 18 weeks later. If it is more than half a year since the last physical examination, they need to have a physical examination again. Ordinary workers do not need a physical examination when they terminate their labor contracts. However, when the labor contract is terminated, the employer shall arrange occupational health examination for the workers who are exposed to occupational hazards, and the expenses shall be borne by the employer. There are provisions on employee physical examination in the Labor Law, but the provisions on employee physical examination are limited to workers with occupational hazards and underage workers. For ordinary employees, the labor law does not stipulate that health examinations must be carried out. The employing unit must provide workers with labor safety and health conditions and necessary labor protection articles that meet the requirements of the state, and the workers engaged in occupational hazards shall undergo regular health examinations.
