Annual health check-ups for factory workers: what to test

1 March 2026 6 min read

Annual health check-ups for factory workers: what to test is a recurring compliance and people-safety priority for plant heads, project managers and HR teams across India. This guide covers what the law expects, what good practice looks like on the ground and how Health Safety India by Jainam Wellness Ltd. helps sites get it right.

Why it matters

Most serious incidents and health losses we see on Indian sites trace back to gaps in annual medical examination workers. The Factories Act 1948, BOCW Act 1996 and the OSH Code 2020 place clear duties on the occupier and principal employer, and inspectors increasingly ask for documented evidence rather than verbal assurances.

Practical checklist

Use this checklist during your next site walk or internal audit:

  • Vitals, BMI, vision and audiometry
  • Spirometry for dust and fume exposure
  • Blood tests including CBC, sugar and liver function
  • Records in the health register
