LIMITED HEALTH-CARE RESOURCES obligate physicians, employers, and third-party payors to periodically evaluate the cost-effectiveness of any medical assessment process. Evaluation is especially necessary when the process has become routine, as is the case with preemployment medical assessments. White-collar employees experience low risk at work. Office workers may perform multiple tasks, including answering the telephone, interacting with the public, handling money, receiving and delivering mail, typing and transcribing, operating office machinery, filing, and lifting supplies or parcels. Individuals may also perform professional duties (e.g., writing, editing, accounting, research, interviewing). Examples of white-collar occupations are government employees, telephone operators, clerks, and office equipment operators (e.g., computer programmers/technicians, financial workers). (1) All of these occupations are nonhazardous positions, and there is a lack of guidelines for preemployment health assessment of such workers.
