Z02.1: Pre-employment examination
The pre-employment examination, as indicated by ICD-10 code Z02.1, is a series of assessments conducted prior to hiring to determine whether a person can handle the responsibilities of a particular job from a physical and mental health standpoint. These evaluations can consist of physical examinations, lab tests, psychiatric evaluations, and even assessments of physical capabilities such as strength or stamina. The aim of these tests is to ensure that prospective employees are healthy, capable, and fit enough to perform their job without any significant risk to their wellbeing or to others in their workplace. The exact nature of the examination varies based on the specific job requirements and the regulations of the region or industry in which the job is located. These assessments are a crucial aspect of occupational health, underlining the interplay between work and health.
