A work physical is an exam your employer requires to evaluate your ability to safely perform your job duties. In addition to assessing your overall health, a work physical finds any health concerns that would put you or others at risk for injuries.
Many employers require a work physical to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.
Work physicals are usually a pre-employment assessment to be sure you’re fit for the job. However, your employer may require regular work physicals throughout your employment. You may also need a DOT (Department of Transportation) physical to obtain or renew a commercial driver’s license.

For more physically demanding jobs, your exam might include vision, hearing, and cardiovascular tests or checking for movement and balance disorders.
After completing your work physical, your NewMed Immediate Care provider discusses your exam results. They may not have a complete analysis if lab tests are pending, but with their on-site lab, you can be sure your results won’t take long.
If your provider discovers any health concerns, they recommend the steps you can take or treatments you may need to overcome the issue and prepare for another work physical. If you pass the exam, they complete a medical clearance certificate for your employer.
