Climbing with great hight difference incl. cardiovascular risk assessment

Statutory check-up that meets legal requirements of AFS 2019:3, AFS 2000:06 and applies to employees who climb with a height difference of more than thirteen meters.

New with service: From 1 January 2024, the Swedish Work Environment Authority's amending regulation 2023:16 will come into force. This means that the ECG is replaced by a cardiovascular risk assessment. Read more here.

Please note that this service will start from 1 Jan 2024. For examinations to be carried out until 31 Dec 2023, the service Medical check-up – Climbing with Great Hight Difference incl. ECG must be ordered.

What it is

Medical check-up - Climbing with great hight difference incl. cardiovascular risk assessment, is done to reduce health risks for employees who work at fall height. After the check-up, we will issue a certificate of service.

Cardiovascular risk assessment

Resting ECG, determination of blood lipids and age-appropriate cardiovascular risk assessment should be performed:

• Prior to new employment
• Every five years if your employee is under 40 years of age
• Every two years if your employee is over 40 years old

How it works

1. Order service
   Once you have ordered the service, the employee is booked in for the medical check-up. The time is communicated to your employee and to you as the client. The employee fills out a health declaration and brings it to the appointment.
2. Visit
   During the visit, sampling, cardiovascular risk assessment and examination are carried out, as well as an assessment of the connection between any problems and the employee's current work situation.
3. Feedback.
   When an Occupational Health Physician assesses that the work does not provide, or can be suspected of, an increased risk of ill health, a certificate of fitness for service and a medical check-up are issued, which are sent to you as an employer via secure email.
   
   The assessment may also result in the employee being at risk of ill health or in need of further testing. A certificate of service will not be issued in these cases and you as an employer will then be contacted.
