Statutory Health Checks in India: Ensuring Worker Well-being and Safety
Statutory health checks are mandatory medical examinations for workers in specific industries in India. They are governed by laws such as the Factories Act of 1948, aimed at safeguarding the health and safety of employees in hazardous work environments.
Why Statutory Health Checks?
Early Disease Detection: These checks help identify potential health issues early on, allowing for timely interventions and preventing chronic conditions.
Occupational Hazard Assessment: They assess the impact of workplace hazards on workers’ health, enabling employers to implement preventive measures.
Legal Compliance: Statutory health checks are mandatory for certain industries, ensuring compliance with labour laws and regulations.
Key Components of Statutory Health Checks
- Medical History Review: A detailed review of the worker’s medical history, including past illnesses, injuries, and family health background.
- Physical Examination: A thorough physical examination to assess the worker’s overall health, including vital signs, organ function, and sensory abilities.
- Laboratory Tests: Blood and urine tests to check for infections, diseases, and exposure to hazardous substances.
- Specialised Tests: Additional tests like X-rays, lung function tests, or audiometry, depending on the nature of the worker’s job.
Who Needs Statutory Health Checks?
Workers in industries such as manufacturing, mining, construction, and chemical processing are often required to undergo these checks. The frequency of these checks depends on the nature of the work and the associated risks

Improved Morale: Workers feel valued and cared for when their health is prioritised.
