Fitness to Work Assessments
It is your responsibility under the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) to ensure that temporary and permanent employees are fit to perform their jobs and that their health is not damaged by work. It is also your responsibility to ensure the safety of employees and others is not compromised.
We can help you check an employee is medically fit to do their job, whether it is safety or non safety critical.
Examples of roles that require fitness to work assessments are:
- fork lift truck driver
- plant operative
- confined space worker
- scaffolder
- crane operator
- banksman/traffic marshall
- food handler
