Pre-employment, Pre-placement and Post-retirement Medical Examinations
We offer pre-employment, pre-placement and post-retirement medical examinations customised for your company to ensure the employees are in the pink of health to perform their assigned duties safely, without risk to themselves or others.

The medical examinations will include a detailed clinical discussion, physical examination and relevant laboratory investigations based on your industry, nature of work and individual's employees' profiles.

Fitness for Work and Fitness to Return to Work Assessment
When an employee has difficulties in performing his job tasks, or when he is returning to work after a period of sickness absence, employers are recommended to provide a Fitness for Work / Fitness to Return to Work Assessment to determine the employee's suitability for work.

TTSH has partnered with Ministry Of Manpower to roll out a Return to Work (RTW) Programme* to help workers who have suffered work injuries return to work safely and maintain long-term employability, through the collaborative efforts of a multi-disciplinary healthcare team.

Suitable employees may be enrolled into the programme**. This programme helps the employers to reintegrate injured employees into the workforce and source for solutions to optimise an employee's work ability. We will provide advice on job re-design and work modifications as needed to allow employees to work as part of their rehabilitation and recovery process.

*The RTW Programme may be claimed through Work Injury Compensation Act (WICA), employee benefits or RTW grant (only for Small and Medium Enterprises).

**Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents and Work Pass holders can take part in the RTW programme.

Evaluation and follow-up management for work-related medical conditions, occupational diseases, and environmental health and safety issues
We can assess and examine employees to determine their health status and perform any relevant follow-up for medical conditions sustained during work as warranted. Examples include infectious disease exposure, staff abuse, musculoskeletal problems, or work-related skin or lung diseases.

This may take the form of interviews, clinical consultations, and clinical investigations, and possibly work site visits as needed. Appropriate preventive measures will be advised if required to ensure that the individual is fit to resume his or her normal duties and that there is no further risk to the worker or other staff.
