Why factories in Chon Buri require a pre-employment check
A pre-employment health check is part of occupational health and safety in a factory. The aims are to confirm the worker is fit for the specific job, to detect risks related to the work, and to record baseline values for long-term health surveillance.
Different factories carry different risks, such as dust, noise, chemicals, heat, heavy lifting and work at height. The test list is therefore designed around the risks of each role rather than one package for every worker.
Common roles and test items
The items below are those most often requested by factories in the Chon Buri area. The actual list always follows each company's requirements and health form.
General production staff: physical examination, five-disease screening, chest X-ray, basic blood tests, urine analysis and drug screening
Chemical or solvent exposure: risk-based items such as liver and kidney function tests
Work at height: heart, blood pressure, vision and balance assessment
Noisy areas: hearing testing (audiometry) to record a baseline before starting work
Dust exposure: lung function testing together with a chest X-ray
Drivers and transport staff: vision, colour vision and conditions that affect driving
How companies should prepare before sending workers
Preparing information in advance helps every worker complete the right tests and reduces waiting time. The HR team should summarise the test list for each role, state the number of workers, and give the clinic the preferred dates at least several days ahead, especially during large intake periods.
Workers should also receive instructions about fasting if glucose or lipid tests are included, bringing their ID card, and reporting health history or regular medicines, so results are accurate on the first attempt.
Which areas does BK5 Clinic serve?
BK5 Clinic is located in Don Hua Lo, Mueang Chon Buri, serving workers from factories in Amata City, Laem Chabang, Pinthong, Nong Mai Daeng, Ban Bueng and nearby areas, with easy access from the Eastern Economic Corridor.
For companies with many employees, we handle group visits at the clinic and arrange on-site checks under agreed conditions. Contact us on LINE @824xsgsj for details.
Key points: Factories should summarise test lists by role and share them with the clinic before the visit. Workers should bring their ID card, follow fasting instructions and report their health history so the results are complete and useful for safety planning.
