A medical for safety-critical roles, assessing fitness against the risk of sudden incapacity, to your employer's standard.
Employment medicals
The doctor assesses you for anything that could cause sudden incapacity in a safety-critical role, including your vision, hearing, blood pressure, heart and circulation, and nervous system. Where your employer sets specific standards, the assessment is done against those.
Bring your employer's specific standards or form if they have provided one, as safety-critical requirements vary by industry.
