BACKGROUND HEALTH CHECKS ARE DANGEROUS…HERE IS WHY!

If you are reading this post with the sole aim of figuring out why background health checks are dangerous then it is safe at this point to pause and ask yourself this question, “Are background health checks really dangerous?”

All right stick with me, let me explain this submission.

In all sincerity, the truth is that background health checks are dangerous. Yes they are dangerous when neglected and not properly carried out on a prospective employee before hiring.

Do you have any idea what this means? It means that without running a proper background health check on your kitchen staff before hiring, chances are that you may unknowingly hire someone with severe health conditions which would become detrimental to your health, your family and even your existence.

Let me bring this home a bit. Say, for instance, you mistakenly hire a chef who has been diagnosed with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome popularly known as AIDS as your cook unknowing to you, can you imagine how dangerous this could be? The thought of what could possibly happen should send some degree of cold shivers down your spine.

Having spent some years in the HR and Staffing department, I can categorically tell you that overlooking the idea of verifying a candidate before employing him/her into your organization or home is really a game of wildfire.

Some months ago, we heard of the story of the chef who was hired by a certain family in Lagos Nigeria only to realize a few months down the line that this chef had a medical condition called Epileptic Seizure. This condition however was uncovered after the chef had an occurrence of brain seizure while having a conversation with her employer.

In this case, the family involved was spared from contracting the chef’s medical condition. It was probably not a contractible disease. Had it been that the chef was diagnosed with a medical condition that is contractible, somewhat like AIDS, it would have been a different ball game entirely. By now perhaps, what we would have been discussing is how that everyone in close proximity to the chef is now a carrier of this pathogen.

After running a series of tests on the chef to ascertain what might have led to the brain seizure, it was discovered that the chef was actually sickle cell anaemic. While employee genotype might not be a limiting factor during recruiting, it is important to note that it might have been worst.?

Of course, it might have been worst for the family who hired the services of the chef if it was a contractible disease, one that kills its carriers within a short time frame. Hence the need to always run proper background checks.
