Forklift Truck (FLT) Medicals

Operating a Forklift Truck (FLT) is a demanding and safety-critical role. A momentary lapse in concentration, a sudden medical event, or an uncorrected visual impairment can lead to serious injury, financial loss, and catastrophic accidents.

Our FLT Medical programme provides assurance that your operators are medically fit to carry out their duties safely, protecting your employees, your assets, and your business reputation.
