In my country, we have something called 'medical comission'. Anyone who wants to get a job needs to do it: the employer has to write down the risk factors, such as weight lifting, work at height, climbing, looking at the screen all day,etc. They are standartised categories. Then, the employee goes to their GP and potentially other specialists to establish whether your health is suitable for the job. For instance, my dad arrangend me a job at a local bakery during the summer after school but I failed the medical part as I've got asthma and one of the risk factors was dust in the environment. Once employed, you then have to do it once a year.
This system has its pros and cons but I believe 12 month mandatory checks could pick many things if that would be rolled out nationwide.
