Breathing Apparatus Operations

Important! This service is ordered for medical examinations to be conducted from January 1, 2025. For medical examinations to be conducted before that, please choose the service including resting ECG.

The statutory check-up complies with the legal requirements of AFS 2019:3, AFS 2007:7 and applies to employees who work with breathing apparatus operations. Before you order the service, you need to carry out a risk assessment.

What it is

Medical Check-up – Breathing Apparatus Operations is done to reduce health risks associated with breathing apparatus operations. With certain periodicity, an ECG must be included in the check-up. If that is the case, order that service instead. After the check-up, we will issue a certificate of service.

• Within six months before work begins
• Before work is resumed if more than twelve months have passed since the last check-up
• Before continuing work for those who have had an incident that may entail increased risk during breathing apparatus operations
• After that with a maximum of twelve-month intervals, excluding ECG
• The periodic examination may be postponed by a maximum of two months
