Online pre-employment screening

The importance of pre-employment screening

All employers are legally obliged to provide a safe workplace. You will naturally wish to reassure yourself that a prospective employee is medically fit for the proposed role. Under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) employers need to be aware of an employee's disability and make appropriate adjustments to their working environment.

Human Resources departments need specialist advice and support in undertaking this crucial process, which Premier can deliver efficiently and professionally. Regulations that apply to this are:

  • The Disability Discrimination Act 1995
  • Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
  • Access to Medical Reports Act 1988
  • Data protection Act 1998

Why chose web based screening?

The simplest and most cost effective way for you to identify health issues early on and protect potential employees is for them to complete a pre-employment questionnaire. Traditionally, these questionnaires take a while to process and are a time- dependant on busy human resources and occupational health departments. Fortunately Premier has solved these problems with our online questionnaire and processing system.

How does it work?

Premier has developed an online pre-employment questionnaire that:

  • Provides a tailored range of specialist questions
  • Provides instant feedback to the potential employee and employer
  • Provides an online status report to the recruiter
  • Provides an instant referral system for the 5-10% of people needing additional assessments
  • Issues a certificate of fitness or medical referral where needed
  • Keeps medical records secure and complies with the DDA

The system can integrate with occupational health departments or with Premier's own physicians and nurses
