GOMERO-CUADRA, Raúl  and  PALOMINO-BALDEON, Juan Carlos. Proposal to assess occupational medical evaluations. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2015, vol.26, n.3, pp.186-189. ISSN 1018-130X.

Occupational physicians determine the fitness for work through occupational medical evaluations. Currently, theresults are based more on common sense than decisions by scientific methodology. It is due inadequate diffusion of Human Rights, the emerging evidence-based medicine applied to the Occupational Medicine and Environment,the acknowledgment of assessment of the functional capacity of workers and workplace hazards and the business decisions, among others. Therefore, we propose a sequence associated with the legislation, the occupational based inclinical evidence, the assessment of risk at the workplace and the business decisions to support the medical decision that can affect the future employment of people.

Keywords : Aptitude; physical examination; occupational medicine.
