Service Details
What is a Safety Critical Medical?
A Safety Critical Medical is a specialised occupational health assessment designed for employees who perform tasks where their physical or mental health is vital to the safety of themselves, their colleagues, and the general public. If an individual in one of these roles were to suffer a sudden loss of consciousness or physical impairment (such as a seizure or vision failure), it could lead to a catastrophic incident.
Unlike a standard GP check-up, this medical specifically focuses on the “fitness for task” requirements mandated by the Health and Safety at Work Act and guidelines set by bodies like Constructing Better Health (CBH) and the HSE.
