A Summary Guide for Employers
We summarized the health surveillance obligations of Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331 on a single page. It is for information only. For an assessment specific to your workplace, we plan together with your occupational physician.
Primary Regulatory Bases
Screening scope is not planned by package logic alone. Employee exposure, hazard class, your occupational physician's orders and the regulatory bases below are assessed together.
The key regulation for selecting and conducting the medical tests applied within health surveillance and preparing the results for the occupational physician's evaluation.
The main legal basis for the employer's duties on employee health surveillance, pre-employment and periodic health examinations and fitness for work.
Sets the permit, vehicle, staff and equipment conditions for on-site screening with mobile health units.
The frequency of periodic health examinations depends on your workplace hazard class. These intervals are upper limits. The occupational physician can set shorter intervals when needed.
Every 5 years
Offices, retail, clerical services
Every 3 years
Most manufacturing, workshop and assembly work
Every year
Mining, construction, chemicals, foundries, energy
It is the official format for pre-employment and periodic health examination reports and appears as an annex to the Occupational Physician Regulation. The form covers the employee's history, physical examination findings and a laboratory tests section. Every test we run during mobile screening supports this section. In hazardous and very hazardous workplaces the occupational physician signs the form.
Yes. The Ministry of Health Mobile OHS Services Circular (2016/7) sets the framework for health screening with mobile units at workplaces. Vehicles must be permitted by the provincial health directorate, X-ray units must be licensed and staff must hold valid certificates. All of our vehicles and teams are certified under this framework.
