Posted By Gavin I am trying to identify the sources of guidance for medicals for staff due to work activities, eg forklift drivers, crane operators, HGV drivers, etc. Any clues appreciated. Thanks Gavin

Posted By Andy Barker You will need to contact an OH provider as whoever does the assessments for you will need to be competent to do so. I have used various sources of OH advice and guidance in the past, I eventually employed a third party to provide on site services (including medicals for FLT drivers). If you're interested I can give you their contact details.

Posted By Martin Taylor There is specific guideance for FLT drivers in either HSG 06 (I think) or L117 (thinking of top of my head and think this is probably the training doc) For HGV drivers there is a medical standard that all GPs must authoirse the driver fit for - there is a standard form availabel at porst offices but can't remember the reference As fro crane drivers I don't know of any specific restrictions hope this helps regards MT
