In some organizations whose activities are related to the production, transportation, sale and storage of food, drinking water, as well as those involved in the upbringing and education of children or the provision of public services, employees must have personal medical records. This is a document confirming that its owner is healthy and is not a carrier of dangerous infectious diseases.
Who should have a medical record
The list of professions, a mandatory requirement for which is the presence of a medical book, is established by regulatory enactments of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. As a rule, this is a separate resolution of regional authorities, approving the procedure for mandatory preventive examinations and obtaining hygienic certification. The workers listed in such lists receive a medical book after passing a medical examination, conducting prescribed laboratory tests and taking a course that introduces the necessary basics of hygiene.
This requirement is common for those who work in trade and are associated with food and drinking water, as well as goods intended for contact with food and drinking water. A medical book is required for sellers of children's products, perfumes and cosmetics. It should be available to everyone who works in catering establishments, in food shops and warehouses, those who transport food products, as well as those drivers who work on public transport.
This document is required for educators and teachers, as well as the medical staff of maternity hospitals and hospitals, the sanatorium and resort industry, boarding schools for children and the disabled, hotels and hostels. Employees of baths and hairdressing salons, swimming pools, sports and health organizations and clubs must have it.
The medical book will be required for pharmacists who get a job in the production of medicines, and for those who want to work in a pharmacy. It will need to be issued to work on water supply and sewerage facilities and networks. Students who live in dormitories or who are going for an industrial practice at those enterprises where medical books are required will also need to issue them. The same requirement applies to participants in multi-level network marketing.
