Pre-employment medical examinations ensure you're at your healthiest and most alert before boarding and sailing the world.
Some tests conducted as part of the pre-employment assessment are also the basis for continuous medical monitoring and perhaps regulatory requirements for seafarers working in high-risk environments.Your employer may also include a drug and alcohol test as part of the medical examination. This is to ensure everyone onboard is physically and intellectually capable of performing the rigorous tasks expected of seafarers.Employers may require various pre-employment exams to be passed before you board.
Depending on your home country, you may have national medical standards for conducting medical fitness exams for seafarers.
The primary goal of these protocols is still to maintain seafarers' safety at sea in their duties' performance, safeguarding their health, the health of their fellow crew members, and the health of passengers on board.
On the international scene, medical guidelines guaranteeing a better understanding of seafaring life and effective delivery of medical care to seafarers are already in place. The examinations are rigorous. Before starting the PEME proper, seafarers must pass a specific medical test (or tests) required by a foreign principal or manning agency.
