Re: [OCC-HEALTH] O.H. policy I appreciate that the Chester Step Vo2 max test can be physically demanding but if there is any doubt regarding their fitness to undertake that test (eg contraindications to vigorous exercise such as H/O angina) they should not undertake the test.

I would question why  a doctor being on site be a requirement? In the event of a “subject” collapsing an OHN could deliver CPR to the casualty as effectively, possibly more effectively if they had had a more recent CPR update training, than the physician.

Hello All

An interesting question was raised this month and I would appreciate your views on it. Does a Dr need to be present ( on site) when you complete the Chester Step test?

Warm Regards
