The State Labor Service of Ukraine emphasizes the importance of monitoring the health of young workers and reminds the public of the mandatory medical examinations for people under the age of 18.
The law requires that every teenager undergo a preliminary medical examination before being hired. This ensures that the chosen job will not harm the child’s physical development.
After being hired, young people must undergo periodic medical examinations. These examinations are conducted annually and are mandatory for employees until they turn 21. Employers must strictly adhere to these regulations to ensure workplace safety.
