Fit-for-Duty or NON-DOT Physicals

Many employers want to know if they are inheriting any former injuries or ailments that may interfere with the job they are hiring for. The best way to do this is with a fit for duty exam. Documenting prior injuries is the best way to protect your company in the event of a future workers comp claim. This is an inexpensive way to determine if your applicant has the ability to perform his/her duties.
