Published October 26, 2026

Healthy teams are productive teams. A structured occupational health programme helps employers place the right people in the right roles, spot health risks early and get injured workers back to work safely.

What a pre-employment medical usually includes

  • Medical history and a physical examination
  • Vital signs, vision and – where noise exposure is involved – audiometry
  • Vaccination review
  • Additional tests depending on the job role and company requirements

Annual physical examinations

Regular check-ups help track long-term health, especially for roles with physical, chemical or noise exposure. They are also a good moment to update vaccinations.

For larger teams, an on-site medical camp saves hours of travel and lost work time. Bright Care Clinic organises free medical camps at your site – call +971 54 752 5804 or +971 54 582 9500 to plan one.
