On-Site Employee Physical Exams

Some tips for a successful physical exam are:

• Get a good night’s sleep
• Avoid fatty and salty foods
• Refrain from strenuous exercise
• Avoid caffeinated drinks
• Drink lots of water
• Make a list of your medications

Companies do physical exams to test the ability of a candidate or employee in performing tasks that their positions require. Annual exams are done to maintain employee health and wellness.

You don’t need to fast before a physical exam unless the doctor requires you to do so. If your exam involves blood work, it’s recommended to fast and only drink water before your appointment.

Your doctor should ask about your health, lifestyle, vaccination status, and medical history, aside from checking your vital signs, blood pressure, and more.

On-site physical exams take only a few minutes unless further testing is required.
