Which option is NOT a stated purpose of the leaving employee examination under Rule 1967.09?

• A. Determine whether he is fit to work in the future
• B. Determine whether he has sustained an injury
• C. Determine whether he has occupational disease
• D. Determine whether he has recovered completely

Answer: (D)

The leaving employee examination is meant to identify health issues related to work and to assess the worker’s ability to engage in future work. It looks for injuries sustained on the job and for occupational diseases, and it evaluates current health status and any limitations that could affect future employment. It is not intended to certify that a person has recovered completely; instead, it records any remaining impairments and how they might influence ongoing or future work. So determining whether someone has recovered completely is not a stated purpose of this examination.
