Doctor’s examinations

Periodic occupational health inspections for category 1 and category 2 non-risk shall only be carried out at the request of the employer or the employee. However, mandatory entry examinations continue to apply to these two categories. For categories 2 risk, 3 and 4, the frequency of mandatory supervision is extended to 3 years (from the current 1 year).

Periodic occupational health examinations of employees working on agreements (i.e., contracts for work or work performance agreements) will newly be carried out only in the case of risky work, if specified by a special law or at the request of an employee or employer.

In addition, an extraordinary occupational medical examination will no longer be necessary in the event of a work interruption due to the drawing of maternity or parental leave, and the special occupational medical examination for "driving examiners" will also be cancelled.
