What Happens at Your Forklift Medical?
A driver’s medical takes about 15-25 minutes normally.
The doctor will ask about your health, including any medical conditions, medication, or recent treatment. Your vision will be checked to ensure you are able to safely operate a forklift in the workplace.
The assessment may also cover:
- A reading of blood pressure
- Your review of general health and well-being
- Basic physical checks for forklift operation
- A review of your cardiovascular, neurological and musculoskeletal health
- Urine test
If you meet the required standards, you will receive your medical certificate when the medical exam is complete. You can pass on the documentation to your employer, training provider or workplace as required.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is a forklift medical necessary by law in the UK?
A forklift medical is not necessarily a legal requirement. Most employers and insurers require it to make sure you are safe to operate machinery.
2. Can you fail a forklift driver medical?
Yes, but only if a medical condition prevents you from operating a forklift safely. There are many instances where things can be managed, and you can still be passed with recommendations. We also offer unlimited re-tests within 3 months if further assessment is needed.
3. Do I need to pass the medical before I can start the forklift training?
Some training providers may require medical clearance before or during training. Especially in safety-critical roles. It varies with the employer or course provider.
4. How frequently do I have to renew my forklift medical?
Your employer sets the rules for renewal; many employers require you to renew every few years or when your health changes.
5. Can I book an appointment with Expert Forklift Medical Services without the paperwork from my employer?
Yes, you can still schedule an appointment even if you do not have employer forms. If necessary, the doctor can issue a standard fitness certificate.
