Climbing with a large level difference incl working ECG

Medical check-ups that meet legal requirements according to AFS 2019:3, AFS 2000:06 and are aimed at employees who work at height of fall – where the workplace includes work with masts and poles, as well as climbing where the level difference is over thirteen meters. Before you order the service, you need to make a risk assessment.

What the position entails

Medical check-up - Climbing with a large level difference including working ECG is done to reduce health risks for employees who work at a height of fall. Checking with ECG is not done as often as checking without ECG. Make sure you order the right service. After the inspection has been carried out, we will give feedback with a certificate of serviceability.

Checks must be carried out

  • Before starting work
  • Before resuming work if more than twelve months have passed since the last inspection
  • Before continued work for the person who has been involved in an event that may lead to an increased risk when working at heights
  • At intervals of no more than twelve months

ECG control must be performed

  • At the first check
  • Every five years for employees under the age of 40
  • Every two years for employees between 40-50 years old
  • Annually for employees over 50 years of age

The employer is responsible for ensuring that the correct health check is carried out with the correct periodicity.
