Preventive Screening (ArbMedVV)
Duty, protection and counselling,
not a fitness check.
The German occupational medicine ordinance (ArbMedVV) obliges employers to offer or order preventive screenings for certain activities. The goal is not to determine whether someone is „fit", but prevention: detecting work-related illness early, offering individual counselling, designing risk work better.
A preventive screening is not a fitness test and not an assessment. It is a conversation between the employee and the doctor, clarifying whether the working conditions fit and what recommendations follow.
The outcome: occupational medical counselling for the employee, where appropriate a written recommendation to them personally. Diagnoses or findings do not go to the company.
Mandatory, offered, requested,
what applies when.
Offered screening
For activities with elevated risk (e.g. display screen work, lifting/carrying). Employer must offer it, employee may accept or decline.
Typical: Display screen work · Logistics · Field service
Requested screening
Employee requests it on their own initiative. Employer must enable it, unless it is trivial.
Typical: Perceived strain · Return to work · Counselling

- ID card

- Glasses / contact lenses (for display screen work, formerly G 37)
- Hearing aids (for noise-exposed activities)
- Current medication list (where relevant)
- For follow-up screening: previous certificate
From our practice philosophy„A preventive screening is not a file, it is a conversation. Whoever has 30 minutes for their employee sees more than any checklist."
