Occupational disease health examination items

The occupational disease health examination items mainly include three types: pre employment examination, regular examination during employment, and post employment examination. The specific items need to be determined according to the types of occupational disease hazard factors. The pre employment physical examination mainly screens for occupational contraindications, usually including basic items such as internal medicine routine examination, blood routine examination, urine routine examination, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray examination, etc. Workers exposed to dust should undergo additional lung function tests and high kV chest X-rays; Workers exposed to noise need to undergo pure tone audiometry; Individuals who come into contact with toxic chemicals need to undergo specific biomarker testing based on the nature of the toxin.

During their employment, dust workers are required to undergo a lung function test and chest X-ray re examination once a year as part of their regular physical examination program; Noise workers need to have their hearing rechecked every six months to one year; Personnel exposed to heavy metals such as lead and mercury should regularly monitor the levels of toxins in their blood and urine. Special occupations such as welders also need to undergo ophthalmic slit lamp examination to screen for electrooptic ophthalmia. The physical examination items for leaving the post are basically the same as those for on-the-job physical examination, but special examinations required for occupational disease diagnosis will be added. Patients with pneumoconiosis need to undergo CT examination to clarify the staging of the disease; Occupational noise induced hearing loss patients need to complete a complete set of audiological examinations such as acoustic impedance testing.

It is recommended that enterprises organize workers who are exposed to occupational disease hazards to undergo standardized physical examinations at qualified occupational health examination institutions in accordance with the requirements of the National Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Law. Employees should keep their medical examination reports from previous years, report any abnormalities to the employer in a timely manner, and have them rechecked. After the physical examination, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, exercise appropriately to enhance physical fitness, and use protective equipment correctly during work.
