Medical visits

Health surveillance is carried out through the visits of the Competent Doctor which can be summarized as follows: - preventive medical examination: aimed at ascertaining the absence of contraindications to the work for which the worker is intended (job);
- periodic medical examination: to check the state of health of workers exposed to risk over time (five years up to 50 years - two years after 50 years);
- medical examination on the occasion of the change of duties (with modification of health risks);
- medical examination upon termination of the employment relationship in the cases provided for by current legislation;
- medical examination prior to resuming work, following absence for health reasons lasting more than 60 continuous days;
- medical examination at the request of the worker, if deemed by the competent doctor related to occupational risks or to his health conditions, liable to worsen due to the work performed. The judgments can be of:
• Eligibility;
• partial eligibility: temporary or permanent, with limitations or prescriptions. It is the responsibility of the Employer (in collaboration with the competent doctor and the RSPP) to check whether the prescriptions are compatible with the maintenance of the job.
• Temporary unfitness: for a given period the worker cannot perform the duties of his / her job; at the end of this period the worker will be reviewed by the doctor who will formulate the new judgment.
• Permanent unfitness: the worker can no longer perform the specific job. According to the art. 42 which provides that the DDL, where possible, uses equivalent tasks or, failing that, with lower tasks, guaranteeing the treatment corresponding to the tasks of origin, the competent doctor will participate in providing specific indications on this also through the re-evaluation of suitability for the new task. Against the judgments of the competent doctor, recourse is allowed, within 30 days from the date of communication of the judgment itself, to the territorially competent supervisory body which, after any further investigations, has the confirmation, modification or revocation of the judgment itself.
