AMS Employment Health Screening Questionnaires

Employment Health Screening is usually undertaken at the request of the employer, with the aim of answering particular questions, when a job offer has been offered.

• Would the employee be fit for transfer/promotion, as a new position could mean changing hazards and different environmental stresses?
• Are there any special factors and statutory requirements relating to a particular work area or post?

Pre-employment health screening will not protect the employer from accidents occurring at the work-place or from absenteeism, but it will enable the employer to be selective in certain areas where he is looking to meet specific standards and statutory requirements.

Benefits achieved by Pre-Employment Health Screening

• The system aims to provide a "medical in confidence" package which enables AMS to assess the past medical history and related events that could affect the employee's suitability for a specific job. Because AMS works with the employer to find out what type of work is carried out within the company, and what conditions employees may be exposed to at work, AMS is in an ideal position to advise about any existing medical conditions which might be affected by the type of work to be carried out by a prospective employee e.g. people who are already partially deaf should have higher protection if they are to work in very noisy conditions and people with asthma need protection against dusts etc.
• The information contained within the questionnaire is entered onto the AMS mainframe database for future reference and the candidate is allotted a Personal Identification Number (PIN) which is used on all subsequent medical screening programmes.

Invoicing for Pre-Employment Health Screening:

AMS normally invoices the Company on a quarterly basis for the number of questionnaires administered. Invoices state the number of questionnaires and the site to which they appertain and AMS can arrange for invoices to be forwarded to individual sites within a Company, or to a central accounts department, according to the Company's requirements.
