What it is
Medical Check-up - Climbing with great hight difference is done to reduce health risks of employees working at drop heights. The service should be carried out early. After the check-up, we will issue a certificate of service.
With certain periodicity, additional elements must be included in the investigation, for example before work begins.
- For check-ups carried out before 31 Dec 2023, the service Climbing with great hight difference incl. ECG is ordered.
- For check-ups carried out from 1 January 2024 onwards, the service Climbing with great hight difference incl. incl. risk assessment is ordered.
The employer is responsible for ensuring that the right medical check-ups are done with the right periodicity.
How it works
- Order service
When you have ordered the service, your employee is booked for the check-up. The time is communicated to you as orderer and the employee. - Fill in health declaration
Before the visit, the employee fills in a health declaration and brings it to the visit. - Visit
During the visit, sampling and examination are carried out, as well as an assessment regarding the connection between any problems and the employee's current work situation. - Feedback
If the company doctor assesses that the work does not, or can be suspected of, an increased risk of ill-health, a certificate of service and Response to medical check-up are issued, which are sent to you as orderer via secure e-mail.The assessment may also result in the employee being at risk of ill health or in need of further sampling. A certificate of service is not issued in these cases and you as an employer will then be contacted.
