New Starter Assessments

New Starter Assessments are an important part of the onboarding process, helping to ensure that new employees are medically fit for the role they’ve been hired to do. These assessments also help identify any health conditions that may require workplace adjustments or support.

At Drayton Medical Services, we offer comprehensive new starter health checks tailored to the specific demands of your workplace and job roles.

Why Are New Starter Assessments Important?
• To confirm fitness for work before employment begins
• To identify any underlying health concerns
• To highlight the need for any reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act
•To provide a baseline for future health surveillance

What’s Included:
• Review of medical history and any current health conditions
• Assessment of fitness to perform key duties
• Vision, hearing, and musculoskeletal checks (if job-relevant)
• Advice on any adjustments or restrictions, if required

You’ll receive a clear fitness outcome (fit, fit with restrictions, or unfit) – ensuring both compliance and peace of mind.

New Starter Assessments help employers meet their duty of care, reduce the risk of work-related illness, and promote a healthy, productive workforce from day one.
