The exact requirements for safety critical medicals may vary depending on the specific job responsibilities of the employee or prospective employee. However, our medical assessments encompass a standard set of tests designed to evaluate an individual’s health and fitness for safety-critical roles. These tests include:

• Baseline health questionnaire to establish the individual’s medical and psychological health history.
• General health assessment, including measurements of weight, height, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, pulse, and urinalysis for blood, protein, glucose, and ketones.
• Audiometry (hearing test) to assess the individual’s auditory function, particularly crucial for roles where clear communication and awareness of auditory signals are essential.
• Respiratory function tests to evaluate lung function, ensuring the individual’s respiratory health aligns with the demands of safety-critical positions.
• Visual acuity, color vision, and peripheral vision screening to assess the individual’s visual capabilities, critical for roles that require precise visual perception.
• Dermatology assessment to examine the individual’s skin health and identify any potential issues that may impact safety-critical tasks.
• Musculoskeletal and mobility assessment to evaluate the individual’s physical fitness and mobility, ensuring they can safely perform the required tasks.
• Optional additional assessments, such as drug and alcohol testing, working at height evaluation, confined space assessment, night worker assessment, and hand-arm vibration assessment (HAVs), depending on the specific job requirements.
