Dear All,
I would like to know about the medical tests which are mandatory as per the Factories Act, as I am working in a Manufacturing Company. We normally do the annual health check-up, but nobody is cleared as these tests are serving our task. Hence, you may please share with me the test details which are compulsory by the government.

Ms. Suchitra,
If a young person (between 15 years to 18 years) is to be employed in a factory, he needs to be subjected to a medical examination to be certified by the surgeon as fit for work, either at the instance of the factory manager or at the instance of his parents. If the factory is one which engages itself in hazardous processes, it may have to get its workers medically examined by the Factory Medical Officer once before employment and thereafter at periodic intervals as stipulated in the factory rules of the respective states.

Dear Suchita,
Please visit your factory premises to understand the work process. List out the hazardous chemicals consumed and polluting the environment due to the use of raw materials. Afterward, come to a conclusion on the tests required to be conducted for your employees, including contractor workers. For more information, it is best to directly approach the Factory Inspector in your region.

Ms. Suchitra,
To my knowledge, the medical examination varies as per the nature of the manufacturing process and the job profile of an employee. For example, if the manufacturing process involves hazardous processes, the medical examination may involve chest X-rays. Similarly, if the employee is a driver, he may have to undergo a vision test. If it is the food industry, the hands of the employees may be periodically examined to check for skin diseases.
The periodicity of medical examination may also vary. For example, if the factory involves Lead Process, the workers may have to be examined once a month as per Maharashtra Factory Rules. Therefore, an employee may have to undergo all routine tests and also the special tests depending on the job profile and nature of the manufacturing process. The best option is to approach the Inspector of Factories and get the details of the medical examination that is mandatory for your factory.
