Employee Medical Examinations

To help ensure that employees are able to perform their duties safely, employees may be required to submit to medical examinations when it is determined that there is a reasonable basis to suspect that the employee?s conduct or performance may be impaired by a mental or physical condition. The examination shall be limited to addressing the noted concerns

After a job offer has been made to an applicant a complete medical examination (including physical and/or mental) may be performed at Lakeland's expense by a health professional of Lakeland's choice if there is a bona fide job-related physical or mental requirement. The offer of employment and assignment to duties is contingent upon satisfactory completion of this examination.

Information on an employee's medical condition or history will be kept separate from other employee information and will be maintained confidentially. Access to this information will be limited to those who have a legitimate need to know.
