When may an employer require a medical examination of an applicant to obtain information about the existence or nature of prior occupational injuries? An employer may require a medical examination to obtain information about the existence or nature of an applicant's prior occupational injuries, after it has made a conditional offer of employment, but before employment has begun, as long as it requires all entering employees in the same job category to have a medical examination. Where an employer has already obtained basic medical information from all entering employees in a job category, it may require specific individuals to have follow-up medical examinations only if they are medically related to the previously obtained medical information.
