forklift driver medicalEverwell Occupational Health offers a UK wide on-site service for completing fork-lift driver medicals or plant operator medicals. As with all Everwell’s other Health Surveillance and Medical Screening services, our fork-lift driver medical service is very convenient, simple to engage and causes minimal disruption with a basic medical review taking only 30 – 40 minutes per employee.  

On-site, we only need the use of a convenient room near to the workforce and then our Occupational Health Nurse will simply work through your fork-lift drivers or plant operators and in whatever order or timetable that suits production. As we conduct each driver medical, we will explain the results to the employee and give health advice as appropriate.

Fork-lift driver medicals as recommended by the HSEThe HSE "Safety in working with lift trucks" guidance (HSG6) can be found at http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/hsg6.htmhttp://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/hsg6.htm for purchase or free download.  Part of the guidance is for forklift truck drivers to have forklift truck driver medicals at prescribed intervals. Good practice is to complete a forklift driver medical at the beginning of employment (or at least at commencement of a driving role), at the age of 40 and regularly thereafter.  Anybody over 65 is recommended to complete such a driver medical on an annual basis.

Everwell Occupational Health as part of our nationwide Health Surveillance services can come to your site to complete forklift driver medicals to the standards laid down by the HSE.  The service is very convenient and easy to complete taking approximately 30 minutes per person.  We can easily combine these medicals with a hearing test or other statutory health surveillance. 

Contact us today to see just how easy and convenient it is to complete forklift-truck driver medicals anywhere in the UK.
