Document background
The Statement of Health Form for Employment is a fundamental document in Nigerian employment practices, designed to gather essential health information from employees or prospective employees. This form is typically used during the pre-employment process or when existing employees transfer to positions with different health requirements. It complies with Nigerian legislation, including the Labour Act, Employees Compensation Act, and data protection regulations. The document collects information about an individual's current health status, medical history, physical capabilities, and any conditions that might affect job performance. It helps employers fulfill their duty of care, ensure workplace safety, and make appropriate accommodations while protecting employee privacy rights. The form is particularly crucial in industries with specific occupational health requirements or where physical fitness is essential for job performance.
