Periodic health checks and health records
Know the frequency and the confidentiality duty.
Four rules
- A health check at least once a year for every employee
- Those in arduous, hazardous or dangerous work, and certain other groups, are checked more frequently as prescribed
- Women employees receive an obstetric and gynaecological examination within the periodic check
- Health records are held separately, not filed with ordinary personnel records
Health data is sensitive data
Under the 2025 Personal Data Protection Law, health data is sensitive: access must be restricted, it must be stored separately, and there must be a clear legal basis for processing it. Keeping health check results in the general personnel cabinet is a double compliance risk.
