Periodic medical 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
• Secure results uploaded via Cogent’s online platform with tracking and scheduling of future assessments per regulatory requirements
