What Are Hazmat Physicals?

Hazmat physicals are given to individuals who work with hazardous materials. They are designed to check for possible hazardous exposure. During a hazmat physical, you will undergo a series of tests and evaluations to ensure you are healthy and have not been exposed to any of the potentially toxic materials you work with regularly.

What to Expect

During the physical, you can expect to:

• Undergo a physical exam similar to the ones you receive from your general doctor during a checkup
• Complete an auditory test
• Receive a spirometry test to evaluate your lung function
• Get chest X-rays if indicated or if it’s your first physical
• Give urine and blood samples, both of which can indicate if you have been exposed to toxic materials

You may also receive other tests depending on the industry you’re in and the different materials you handle.
