In occupational health, preventive health examinations are used for new hire evaluation, periodic health monitoring, and executive wellness programs. Typical components include: medical history review, vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, BMI), vision and hearing screening, basic lab work (CBC, metabolic panel), urinalysis, and physician assessment. Unlike DOT or OSHA-specific physicals, preventive exams are broader in scope and customized to the employer's program requirements. They help identify health risks early, reducing future workers' comp claims and absenteeism.
