Our wind turbine medicals are designed to meet the rigorous demands of working at height, offshore, or in confined environments, ensuring your workforce is fit for duty, safe, and compliant with industry standards.
Whether you’re a technician heading offshore or managing teams across multiple turbine sites, our experienced clinicians deliver high-quality, reliable assessments tailored to GWO (Global Wind Organisation) requirements.
Why Are Wind Turbine Medicals Important?
Working on wind turbines presents unique physical and environmental challenges. Employees must be medically fit to safely:
- Climb towers at a significant height
- Work in confined spaces
- Travel offshore
- Carry out demanding physical tasks in remote or harsh conditions
Our comprehensive assessments are tailored to the needs of wind turbine technicians, engineers, and offshore personnel.
We assess medical fitness to help reduce risk, improve safety, and keep your projects moving forward.
What’s Included in a Wind Turbine Medical?
Our wind turbine medicals typically include:
- Medical Questionnaire: Review of personal and occupational medical history
- Height and Weight: BMI calculation to assess general health
- Blood Pressure: Monitoring cardiovascular health
- Urine Test: Screening for blood, glucose, and protein levels
- Vision Test: Assessment of near and far vision, including colour blindness
- Lung Function: Measurement of respiratory health
- Audiometry Test: Hearing assessment to ensure safe communication in noisy environments
- Skin Assessment: Examination for skin conditions that may affect work performance
- Chester Step Test: Cardiovascular fitness test to assess physical endurance
- Drug and Alcohol Screen: Required by some employers as part of the assessment
All assessments are conducted by our qualified occupational health professionals, with final sign-off by an Occupational Health Physician.
