When it comes to raising teenagers, what you don’t know can hurt you! We all do everything we can to keep our kids safe, but we certainly can’t watch them at all times. Unfortunately, even the most conscientious children make foolish decisions, and when they do they attempt to hide them from us and keep them a secret.
You have a responsibility as an employer to provide a safe working environment at all times. This means training your employees in safety procedures and scheduling fitness for duty examinations for each new hire. You will also need an additional examination before an employee returns to work after an accident. The examination evaluates whether the employee is up to the job, and confirms that he or she can meet all of the job’s physical requirements without risking injury to themselves or to others.
We have written about return cheaters in the past – those that we’ve caught before and return just to get caught again. However, we recently had our first threepeat! A gentleman came in on the 5th of the month and presented us with a specimen we would not accept, and he left the clinic.
There’s nothing like making a great new hire, and with our current labor shortages we need to put our new personnel into the field right away. All companies hire people based on the quality of their minds, but in some professions they also need to make sure that they’re physically up to the job! Many professions in the transportation industry require physicals for insurance purposes, and pre-employment health screenings will also help you lower your worker’s compensation premiums!
