The frequency of periodic inspections is determined by the types of harmful and (or) dangerous production factors affecting the employee, or the types of work performed..

The staff of LPC “ExpertAlliance” LLC will help you with the support and organization of the procedure for pre-medical and periodic medical examinations..

The most important and most common mistake of employers is the failure to conduct preliminary or periodic medical examinations when medical examinations are provided for by law. The punishment for such a violation is provided for by the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation.

Organizational issues during medical examinations

Medical examinations can be conducted by any medical institution of any form of ownership that has issued the appropriate license. Employers whose production activities are associated with hazardous (harmful) working conditions, traffic, catering services, trade, maintenance of water supply networks, as well as children’s and medical institutions are required to conclude an agreement with the selected medical organization in order to conduct mandatory medical examinations..

The employer must carry out a number of organizational measures, including issuing an order on the order of passing medical examinations and compiling lists of names of those employees who must pass them. The lists are compiled 2 months before the date of the staff check-ups previously agreed with the medical institution. Based on the lists received, the medical institution draws up a calendar plan, which is coordinated with the employer organization..

10 days before the expected date of the start of medical examinations, the employer introduces each employee from the list to the medical examination calendar approved by the medical organization. On the eve of the medical examination, the employer issues referrals to employees. The examination is carried out by a medical commission headed by a professional pathologist.

The duties of the employer in the field of labor protection include conducting mandatory preliminary, periodic, and other medical examinations at their own expense (paragraph 12, Part 2, Article 212 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
