The HSE guidance document 'Safety in working with lift trucks' (1979) has a
section on medical considerations, and notes that it is 'good practice' for
operators to be screened for fitness before employment and again at regular
intervals in middle age.
My understanding is that the only medicals that have to be performed by a
doctor are for drivers of passenger vehicles or HGV's.
