Periodic medical assessments
Ensuring the ongoing health, safety and fitness of your workforce is critical, especially in roles with exposure to physical, environmental or operational risk. Cogent Thinking delivers customised Periodic Medical Assessments to help you monitor fitness over time, meet regulatory and safety obligations, and manage workforce-health proactively.
Delivering tailored assessments
Why Ongoing Medical Surveillance Matters
For many industries, the initial medical clearance is only part of the picture. As time, age, exposure or role demands evolve, a worker’s capacity, health or risk profile can change.
Regular surveillance enables you to:
- Verify that a worker remains medically and functionally fit for their role
- Detect early signs of health issues or occupational impacts before they lead to injury or downtime
- Support compliance with safety, health-surveillance and industry-specific medical requirements
- Build a longitudinal dataset to identify workforce trends, plan interventions and reduce exposure
What the Assessment Includes
We tailor each assessment based on your workforce, role-demands and risk-profile. A typical periodic medical assessment may include:
- Review of medical history, role-exposures and previous assessments
- Vital checks: height, weight, BMI, blood pressure
- Vision and hearing screening
- Urinalysis and basic pathology (as required)
- Musculoskeletal and postural tolerance testing (mobility, range of motion, strength)
- Neural or functional tolerance assessment
- Optional add-ons: audiometry, spirometry (lung function), drug & alcohol screening, occupational vaccinations, ECG or imaging
- Outcome: certified report with fitness status, recommended next steps, schedule for re-assessment
