What are the occupational health examination items

The occupational health examination items mainly include basic items such as blood routine, urine routine, liver function, kidney function, chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, and lung function examination. Corresponding special examinations may be added for different occupational exposure characteristics, such as pure tone audiometry for noise workers and high kV chest X-ray for dust workers.

1. Basic physical examination items

Routine examination items in occupational health examinations include routine laboratory tests such as blood routine and urine routine, which can evaluate the basic health status of the body. Blood routine examination of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelet indicators can help detect abnormalities in the blood system. Urine routine examination includes urine protein, urine sugar, and urine sediment microscopy, which can preliminarily screen for urinary system diseases. Liver function tests such as transaminase and bilirubin can reflect liver metabolic function. These basic projects are routine configurations for enterprises to arrange physical examinations for workers.

2. Occupational related special inspections

Special inspection items are set for employees based on their work characteristics. For example, workers engaged in dust operations need to undergo high kV chest X-ray examination to screen for pneumoconiosis, and workers exposed to noise are required to undergo pure tone audiometry to evaluate the degree of hearing loss. Vibration workers need to undergo peripheral nerve conduction function tests, and high-temperature workers need to measure their temperature regulation function. These specialized tests are key monitoring contents for occupational disease hazards.

3. Special Inspection for Special Positions

Special positions also have corresponding special inspection items, such as testing the blood lead content of workers exposed to lead, classifying white blood cells in blood routine for workers exposed to benzene, and conducting chromosome aberration testing for employees exposed to ionizing radiation. For workers exposed to carcinogens, regular screening for tumor markers and related imaging examinations may be required to detect occupational disease damage early.

4. Psychological and Mental Health Assessment

Some professions that require high psychological qualities, such as pilots and high-altitude workers, need to increase psychological health screening and use assessment tools such as symptom self-assessment scales. Service industry personnel under high stress may need to undergo work stress assessment tests to prevent the occurrence of occupational stress-related mental disorders, which are usually professionally evaluated by psychologists.

5. Occupational Contraindications Screening

Physical examination items also include occupational contraindication screening, such as those with cardiovascular diseases not being allowed to engage in high-altitude operations, and color blind patients not being allowed to engage in electrical work. Through comprehensive occupational health examinations, not only is the health and safety of employees ensured, but also personnel who are not suitable for a certain job are prevented from being assigned to positions that may worsen their condition.

Enterprises should reasonably configure physical examination plans based on the characteristics of occupational hazards in their job positions, take corresponding preventive measures for different hazards, and ensure that physical examinations are organized according to the statutory cycle. Workers should actively cooperate with occupational health examinations, truthfully disclose their disease history and health conditions. When occupational contraindications or suspected occupational diseases are found during physical examinations, they should promptly follow the doctor's advice for re examination or medical treatment to safeguard their own health rights and interests. Attention should be paid to personal protection in daily work and regular participation in occupational health knowledge training.
