Three Year Fitness Checks For Operators

UK Plant hire workers should have their fitness levels medically tested ever three years, or so says newly released guidance formed by the Strategic Forum Plant Safety Group along with with the Health & Safety Executive, UKCG (UK Contractors Group), and CBH (Constructing Better Health).

HSE’s chief inspector of construction Philip White said in his supporting forward; 

 “Construction plants have the potential to injure or kill both operators and bystanders if it is operated, installed or maintained by people who are not medically fit to do so. Employers have a duty to ensure that their employees have the required level of fitness for their job and this guidance is aimed at providing employers and others with the tools to do this.”


"The recommended three year assessment frequency “strikes a balance between ensuring that medical assessments are frequent enough to identify changes, but not so frequent that they discourage employees or become an unnecessary expense.”
