Yes, depending on type of lift truck and it's important to know which type,
depth perception, PMH of cardio-vascular conditions including hypertension.
Check BP.

I do quite a bit of these for 2 OH providers.
Generally:
Medical history-exclude neurological problems, ,musculo-skeletal/balance
problems
Vision: distance is importance, and some would say binocularity/steropsis,
along with peripheral range of vision. If you have a box screener this
pretty well does it . Otherwise it Snellen for distance and visual fields by
confrontation, a skill many OHAs have not commonly acquired.
Movement- arms legs neck back , balance.
BP, pulse
Urine test for Diabetes
Hearing, audiometry or voice test-enough so they can hear warnings.
Height and weight usually done- but as long as they are not so large as to
be immobile there is no real "cut off"
Refer on to GP or OHP if you have one for queries
Some firms do /peakflow/colour vision/near vision
Does anyone do anything else?
Diane
