Forklift Driver Medical £100

we specialize in Forklift Driver Medical Assessments, designed to help operators meet essential health and safety requirements.

The Importance of Medical Assessments for Forklift Drivers

While UK law does not mandate medical examinations for forklift drivers, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 imposes a clear obligation on employers to safeguard their employees’ health and safety. Consequently, many companies have adopted policies requiring their forklift operators to pass a Safety Critical Medical before taking on their roles.

For drivers engaged in high-risk activities—such as handling hazardous materials or operating large vehicles—it is advisable to undergo a medical examination that adheres to Group 2 driver standards. In fact, regular assessments become crucial for those over 45, as they should receive evaluations every five years. Additionally, for drivers over 65, annual assessments are recommended to ensure ongoing fitness for duty.

What to Expect During Your Forklift Driver Medical Assessment

When you arrive for your medical assessment, our skilled doctors will perform a comprehensive evaluation, which includes:

  • Eye examination
  • Ishihara Color Vision Test (if necessary)
  • Respiratory health check
  • Blood Pressure Measurement

Furthermore, these assessments play a critical role in ensuring that you meet all necessary health and legal requirements for safe forklift operation.
