Pre-employment Health Screening
 

Does anyone knows what does a pre-employment health screening consist of?

Re: Pre-employment Health Screening
 

It all depends upon what the "employment" is. Astronauts require stringent pre employment health checks. Commercial airline pilots are comprehensively screened too.

On the other hand, garbage collectors don't need to meet the same standards.

Which sector you working in?
A normal pre-employment health screening :-
1. Eyesight Test
2. Measure ht / wt
3. Color Blind Test
4. Urine Test
5. X-ray of chest area. Some done at SATA.
6. Answer some medical questions by the doctor. Basic ones like any drug allergies, medical history,.....blah, blah, blah. Your Blood Pressure might be measured here too.

Think should be about it. Can be accomplished in half a day.

Of course, if you are an astronaut or pilot, there might be other tests.....:p

Some companies also require you to undergo STD blood test but it's usually limited to Syphilis only which is rather uncommon in sg.

If you suspect you have anything, go and check on your own first lah...

It depends on the company. Some even test for HIV. :D
