The national regulator for workplace health and safety, HSE, does not have any current legislation regarding the need of forklift drivers to undergo a medical. However, your employer may request this to determine your fitness to operate this machinery as per company standard.
The national regulator for workplace health and safety, HSE, does not have any current legislation regarding the need of forklift drivers to undergo a medical. However, your employer may request this to determine your fitness to operate this machinery as per company standard.
For most work involving lift trucks, a standard of fitness equivalent to that for Group 1 entitlement (ordinary driving licence holders) is appropriate. However, activities such as working in a particularly demanding environment, working at night or transporting hazardous waste would require assessment in line with Group 2 entitlement (heavy goods vehicle licence holders).
Employers may choose to screen potential operators in accordance with Group 2 licences whereby a medical examination is required every 5 years from the age of 45 and every year from the age of 65 (in line with licence renewal periods).
