Local information for Aurora Occupational Testing

It’s important for both employers and employees to follow all Colorado state and local workplace health rules. Adhering to occupational health guidelines benefits employers by limiting potential liability and ensuring that employees have access to a safe and healthy working environment. Following Aurora occupational health rules can also create positive employee morale, reduce work absences due to injuries and illnesses, and may lower the number of worker compensation claims.

For employees, understanding how to access Aurora occupational health services can help ensure that they receive the proper health and safety accommodations. It’s also important for employees to understand how and when to report an unsafe work environment so that it can be corrected before an injury, illness, or death occurs.

One way Aurora workplace health regulations protect employers and employees is by mandating pre-employment physicals for job candidates in certain industries. This helps to ensure a job candidate is healthy enough to complete the tasks required for the position and helps prevent situations where employees can create unsafe environments for themselves and their co-workers.

For example, in the city of Aurora, candidates for the police force must pass a physical fitness test to confirm the ability to perform essential job functions. They must also undergo a medical assessment, psychological test, and drug test. Candidates for the Aurora fire/rescue department must also pass a candidate physical ability test (CPAT) to ensure they can meet the physical demands of being a firefighter and complete a National Fire Protection (NFPA) medical exam which includes a physical and blood work.

In the state of Colorado, it is legal for employers to require pre-employment physicals. However, Colorado law § 8-2-118 states that it is unlawful for employers to require employees or applicants to pay for the cost of the exam.

The city of Aurora and the state of Colorado also recently passed public health orders addressing the occupational health issues created by the COVID-19 pandemic. In August of 2021, the Aurora Public School District announced that COVID-19 vaccines would be mandated for staff during the 2021-2022 school year, including interns and volunteers.

In the state of Colorado, there are also several other regulations regarding COVID-19 vaccinations. For example, the Governor declared that as of September 20, 2021, all state employees must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or participate in twice-weekly testing. Public Health Order 20-20 also went into effect in September of 2021, requiring all healthcare workers who are employed with licensed healthcare entities in the state and who interact with patients to have COVID-19 vaccinations. This includes employees, support staff, and direct contractors who interact with people receiving or seeking medical care.
