Question

State any two reasons to justify ‘medical examination’ as an integral part of a good selection procedure.

Answer 1

1. Ensures physical and mental fitness: A medical examination helps confirm that the candidate is healthy and fit to perform the job duties safely and effectively.
2. Prevents future health-related issues: It helps identify any serious health conditions that could affect the candidate’s performance or lead to frequent absences or risks in the future.

Answer 2

The reasons why medical examination is an integral part of a good selection procedure are as follows:

1. Workplace Safety: A job where drinking isn't allowed makes people less careless. Pre-employment medical evaluation procedures that look for illegal drug and alcohol use will help stop problems that could happen because of carelessness.
2. Public Health Protection: Employers with infectious disease outbreaks may legally reject job applicants. Companies have the authority to reject ill applicants to prevent the infection from spreading to other workers.
