Under current Health and Safety legislation, employers have a duty of care to safeguard the health and safety of their employees. This is particularly relevant to those carrying out safety-critical tasks such as working at height, working in a confined space or operating plant machinery.
SEQOHS medicals, such as a fitness-for-task health check, as identified in the National Industry Standards for occupational health, will go a long way towards ensuring these legal requirements are met.
RenewableUK has developed medical fitness-to-work guidelines, which outline the nature and scope of assessments provided to wind turbine technicians and other personnel who may need to work on, access and climb a medium or large wind turbine. Workers Health can provide industry recommended Wind Turbines Medicals (Medical Fitness to Work on near offshore and land based projects) for the renewable energy sector, also known as RUK medicals.
