Safety Critical Medicals
Supporting Safety Critical Industries Since 2009
Safety Critical Medicals are specialist health assessments designed to confirm that an employee is medically fit to work in a role where ill‑health could pose a significant risk to their own safety or the safety of others.
Protecting High-Risk Workers
Safety Critical roles often involve working at height or in confined spaces, operating machinery, driving, working in hazardous environments, or carrying out tasks where sudden illness or impaired function could lead to serious incidents.
Legal and HSE Compliance Assured
Employers use safety critical medicals to meet their legal duty of care, maintain compliance with Health & Safety Executive (HSE) requirements, and ensure that teams working in higher risk environments can perform their duties safely and reliably.
