Article R4626-30 of the French Labour Code

The occupational physician may prescribe any additional examinations necessary :

1° To determine the employee’s fitness for the job and, in particular, to screen for ailments which contraindicate the employee’s suitability for the job;

2° Screening for an occupational disease or disease of an occupational nature likely to result from the employee’s work;

3° Screening for conditions likely to expose the employee’s family and friends to the risk of contagion.

To this end, the occupational physician is informed by the head of the establishment, as soon as possible, of any change of assignment and may, on this occasion, take the initiative of re-examining the employee.

Le médecin du travail peut prescrire les examens complémentaires nécessaires :

1° A la détermination de l’aptitude de l’agent au poste de travail et notamment au dépistage des affections comportant une contre-indication à ce poste de travail ;

2° Au dépistage d’une maladie professionnelle ou à caractère professionnel susceptible de résulter de l’activité professionnelle de l’agent ;

3° Au dépistage des affections susceptibles d’exposer l’entourage de l’agent à des risques de contagion.

A cet effet, le médecin du travail est informé par le chef d’établissement, le plus tôt possible, de tout changement d’affectation et peut, à cette occasion, prendre l’initiative de procéder à un nouvel examen de l’agent.
