Its normally Monthly or Quarterly that the medical tests are repeated..... Check with the Factories Act or with your Factory Doctor.

It depends on the state you are in.
Check the factories act for your state.
In general, all workers in hazardous processes are required to be medically examined every 6 months. The examination must be by a civil surgeon or a doctor approved for this purpose by the chief inspector of factories. The medical records must be also made available to the workers.

Hello Ismail Z Khan,
Like other members mentioned, pl refer to the Factories Act of your State for the periodicity of the Tests.
As far as 'what type of medical tests to be conducted' goes, while your factory doctor should be able to assist you [though I am not so confident of the knowledge levels in this area of general physicians/doctors], in general, types of the tests depend on the chemicals the employees/workers are normally exposed to while working. For eg, in any Asbestos related factory, the focus will be on respiratory tests.
I am sure you can also google & find the broad level inputs you can begin to work with.
