What is an FCA? Thanks again - Leigh On Tue, May 31, 2011 at 9:29 AM, Wayne Llewellyn <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Leigh, There are no set ranges of movement for a human body. Each individual will need to be assessed in terms of the quality of movements, whether there are any biomechanical changes due to pain, muscle imbalance and joint changes etc. Muscle strength and stability will also all need to be assessed so you can get an overall idea of what their physical, functional capacity is. This will then need to be balanced up against the tasks required. My suggestion would be to engage an experienced occupational physio to either do a detailed assessment or get an FCA so you have full legal documentation. Let me know if you need any further info.

I have been contacted today to carry out a fork lift medical on a company who have just recently begun using their own fork lift drivers. I have seen the gentleman (in his early 50's) previously and I am aware he has known back issues (specifically a previous herniated disk at L2-3 a number of years ago) for general health surveillance. The FLT role is new to him although he has worked for the company for 5 yrs. I am unsure if he disclosed his disk problems whilst going through his forklift training - he did advise me at a previous health surveillance check that it did not cause him any current difficulties . I want to be prepared in case this has changed and his movement has become limited - I wondered what you advice would be to this gent with regards frequency / limitations? If he tells me it has still not changed and movement is normal - should I take his word for it or refer to OHP?
