Does Foxconn check hepatitis B

Foxconn's physical examination usually does not include hepatitis B items. China's Employment Promotion Law clearly stipulates that employers shall not refuse employment on the ground of infectious disease pathogen carriers, and hepatitis B virus carriers enjoy equal employment rights except in specific industries.

The routine physical examination items of enterprises mostly focus on basic examinations such as blood routine examination, urine routine examination, chest X-ray examination, etc. The five tests of hepatitis B involve personal privacy, and cannot be compulsory without the consent of job seekers. Some special jobs, such as food processing, preschool education and other industries, may include hepatitis B screening due to the requirements of industry specifications, but general electronic manufacturing jobs generally do not need this item. If abnormal liver function is found during the physical examination, the company may suggest further examination to assess the health status, but it cannot be used as a basis for rejection of employment.

hepatitis B virus is mainly infected through blood, mother infant and sexual contact, and will not be transmitted through daily work and life contact. Hepatitis B virus carriers should regularly monitor liver function, avoid drinking and overwork, and maintain a balanced diet. If symptoms such as decreased appetite or yellowing of the skin occur, it is necessary to seek medical evaluation in a timely manner. The employer shall protect the health rights and interests of workers according to law, and workers can complain to the labor supervision department in case of compulsory hepatitis B testing.
