There is a legal requirement to ensure that an employer does not put any prospective or existing employee's health at risk and to make any reasonable adjustments under the Disability Discrimination Act ('DDA'). 

The pre-employment medical will provide a documented record of the state of the employee's health on entering the company.  It will also highlight any illnesses, both physical and psychological, that may affect the prospective employee's ability to do the job.  This will allow you to protect your employees from situations that may cause harm and can also assist you in countering any potential ill health claims subsequently made by an employee.

Full medicals can include all or some parts of the following, depending on the job demands and working conditions:

Comprehensive medical history
Height, weight and body index
Blood pressure and pulse
Urinalysis
Lifestyle evaluation
Hand arm vibration screen
Repetitive strain injury screen
Eyesight evaluation

Muscular-skeletal assessment
