At First Advantage we understand the importance of assuring that prospective employees are physically capable of performing the functions of the job for which they are being considered. One of the best ways to determine these qualifications is by conducting a physical examination. We have expert staff to design and administer all aspects of your pre-placement examinations. If your employees are mandated by the Department of Transportation (DOT), we can additionally assist you with understanding and implementing all requirements to ensure compliance.

Pre-employment Exams
Our program is extremely effective in ensuring that job candidates are capable of job functions, and that policies are administered consistently across your organization. Prior to placement, examinations are performed by outside physicians. Our staff of specialized in house physicians then reviews them for consistency and correct interpretation of medical data - ensuring a two step quality control process. After that, your staff is notified of the hiring status.

Scheduling Center Services
We also provide scheduling services for applicants and employees who need physical exams - making efficient use of your time and resources. Necessary forms and instructions are provided along with the date, time and location of where the physical will be performed. Your applicant or employee will receive special handling through this service, and you will receive automatic notification of any delinquent test results which saves you the time of having to follow-up.

DOT Driver Physical Qualification Management
Drivers regulated by the DOT are required to have a physical examination at least every two years. Since any medical practitioner authorized to conduct physical examinations in your state can complete these, there is often a great discrepancy in quality and completeness. The accuracy of these examinations is important for not only your compliance with regulations, but also because employers are held responsible, along with physicians, for any mistakes. Statistics show that 38% of DOT physicals have errors. Our physical specialists are experts in DOT guidelines and regulations and will review the examinations to ensure that the driver is qualified and that the documentation is accurate - limiting your legal liability.

Customized Programs
First Advantage understands that each company has different needs. That is why we offer customized solutions which can be integrated with other First Advantage services. If you also wish to complete other screening services such as drug screening, background investigations, or the management of your driver qualification files, we can build you a customized program and integrate the administration to further alleviate the burden of hiring and maintaining quality employees.

Drug Screening Integration
First Advantage offers drug-screening services and workplace services which can be fully integrated with our physical examination service. First Advantage is your one stop shop for all of your occupational health services needs.
