Hi Alan
If you have a look in HSG6 (Safety in Working with Lift Trucks) in appendix 2 it covers the medical standards for lift truck operators. It states in there that lift truck operators should be screened for fitness every 5 years from the age of 40

Alan,

It is true and we have just been through it with our workshop guys.

Email me direct and I can send you a template questionnaire that our occupational health providers used.
