\"\"\u25c6”Encouragement of medical examinations” with many advantages for businesses
\nAre you just being made to undergo a medical checkup?
\nFor workers who are found to be in need of reexamination, need close examination, or need medical care, it is appropriate for employers to “identify workers who are eligible for a secondary health checkup, recommend that they receive a secondary health checkup, and encourage them to submit the results of the secondary health checkup, which has been evaluated by a physician regarding the diagnosis category, to the employer. (Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, “Guidelines for Measures to be Taken by Employers Based on Health Examination Results”). There have been cases in which companies have been charged with violating their duty of care for safety because they failed to make this medical examination recommendation, so caution should be exercised.
\nIn addition, workers’ health risks are reduced if they receive medical care before their illnesses become serious. If workers can continue to work in good health for a long period of time, it will lead to higher corporate productivity and, ultimately, better business performance.
\nRecently, many companies do not recommend medical examinations from the viewpoint of personal information protection and privacy, but the company should definitely be proactive in this regard..<\/p>\n

\u25c6Methods of recommending medical examinations
\nAlthough it is sometimes possible to verbally encourage the patient to seek medical attention, it is generally recommended that the recommendation to seek medical attention be made in writing. Examples of such documents are available on websites, etc., and it is advisable to prepare them with reference to them.

\u25c6Actions to be taken when some workers do not receive medical examinations after being recommended to do so
\nIt is possible that workers do not receive medical examinations even after being recommended to do so. From the viewpoint of the duty of care for safety, it is important to leave evidence that the company was doing its best to fulfill its duty, just in case. For example, it is important to record what kind of medical examinations were recommended by the company, and for what reasons the workers refused to receive them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
