Hiring and employing someone is a significant investment to your business. Onboarding costs, training, payroll taxes, workers compensation, unemployment insurance, and the list goes on. So when you hire someone, your business needs to make sure that they are suitable and capable for the position. This is why pre-employment testing is imperative to your business.

Among some of the most important pre-employment tests are drug and alcohol screens, breath capacity testing, and physical examinations. All of these tests play an important role in ensuring a productive working environment.

Drug and alcohol screening is a pre-employment test that is essential to your company. These simple, inexpensive tests determine whether or not the individual is engaged in some type of (possibly illegal) activity that can affect the safety, productivity, and professionalism of your business. Most companies have a zero-tolerance policy towards drug and alcohol use, and it’s easy to understand why.

Breath capacity testing is an examination that checks the heart and lung capacity of the prospective employee. If the job that your company is hiring for happens to be physically strenuous and demanding, a breath capacity test is essential to determine the capability of the individual to perform. The tests are relatively quick, completely painless, and are invaluable to your business.

Physical examinations are also an imperative part of pre-employment testing. As an employer, you want to evaluate the physical suitability of an individual before committing valuable hiring and employment resources. Physical examinations do so through a complete and comprehensive check of the individual’s vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and respiratory rate) and other physical functions. The pre-employment physical involves a heart exam, lung exam, head and neck exam, abdominal exam, neurological exam, dermatological exam, and extremities exam.
