Confined Space Medical

Includes Safety Critical Medical Form & Working at Heights Questionnaire including Hand Dynamometry

How do I Obtain the Confined Space Medical?

Our Confined Space Medicals include the Full Safety Critical Medical and Confined Space Questionnaire.

Confined Space Medicals are a statutory requirement under the Confined Space Regulations of 1997 where an assessment is required to identify any health conditions or risk of serious injury in enclosed spaces.

A confined space is a place which is enclosed substantially and where there is risk of exposure to low levels of oxygen and exposure to dust, vapour, fumes or increased hot working conditions. There may be also be a risk of trying to safely escape the enclosed environment i.e. a risk of fire and explosions.

Our Doctor will ensure that your employee is able to meet the necessary health standards to be able to complete his/her job role. Examples of workers can include tunnel boring gangs, wastewater technicians or HS2 tunnel workers etc.
