Pre-employment and Department of Transportation (DOT) Physicals are crucial medical evaluations confirming an individual’s fitness to perform job duties safely and in federal compliance. They protect workers, co-workers, and the public by identifying medical issues that could impact performance or safety in safety-sensitive industries.

Pre-employment & DOT Focus

  • Pre-employment: Confirms physical capability and overall health for essential job duties. This process reduces injury risk, ensures Workplace Safety, and establishes a health baseline.

  • DOT Physicals: Federally mandated by the FMCSA for all Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) drivers (CDL holders). Conducted only by an NRCME-certified medical examiner.

Key Checks & Certification

Exams are thorough, checking medical history, vision, hearing, blood pressure (for cardiovascular health), and include a urinalysis (screening for diabetes/kidney issues). Successful completion grants a Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC), valid for up to two years. In some cases, individuals with controlled medical conditions may require more frequent re-evaluation.

WellGen Health provides efficient, accurate, and fully compliant physicals. Our certified providers ensure you are certified and ready for work with reliable medical documentation.
