When it comes to recruiting in the resources and construction sectors, one thing is certain: not all pre-employment medicals are created equal. Companies like Rio Tinto, BHP, and others operating in Western Australia understand that the medical clearance required for an underground gold site is not the same as for a FIFO surface role in the Pilbara.
At MyHealthCK, we specialise in delivering tailored pre-employment medicals that meet your company’s exact needs — whether you’re hiring for exploration, processing, maintenance, or underground operations.
One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Each company — and even each site — often has its own unique medical standards. For example:
- BHP might request a more comprehensive musculoskeletal and functional capacity test (MUSC & FIT) for underground roles.
- Rio Tinto may include additional respiratory or cardio checks depending on the environment or risk profile.
- Gold sites often require additional lab-based drug and alcohol screening and more stringent functional assessments compared to iron ore or surface operations.
MyHealthCK ensures that each assessment is aligned with your specific company protocols and site requirements.
Common Inclusions in Our Medicals
While we tailor to your needs, some of the most requested components include:
- PEM (Pre-Employment Medical): Baseline health check including vitals, vision, and cardiovascular health
- MUSC & FIT: Physical strength, mobility, and functional testing specific to site demands
- Audiometry: Hearing assessments, particularly relevant for high-noise environments
- Spirometry: Lung function testing for roles involving dust, fumes, or respirator use
- Lab D&A Screening: Laboratory-based drug and alcohol testing, including chain of custody
