Work is underway to expand the package of compulsory occupational medicine examinations. The current diagnostic examination, which usually includes only basic morphology, is to be accompanied by:

1. a lipidogram to assess the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease,
2. determining the body mass index (BMI), which will verify possible overweight or obesity,
3. a blood glucose test to verify whether the employee is at risk of diabetes.

In addition, employees will be able to voluntarily opt for additional tests, i.e. a mammograph, cytology, a PSA antigen determination or a chest X-ray, etc. 

The costs of these new examinations are intended to be borne by the Treasury. Neither the employee nor the employer will incur any expenses in this respect, provided that the occupational medicine clinic with which the employer has a contract to perform occupational medicine examinations is a participant in the programme to combat civilisation diseases.
