Why a Train Driver Medical?
As per the Railway Group Standard, and to help protect the health of Train Drivers and other rail-related employees who are exposed to obvious and potential hazards to health, we offer a number of rail-specific examinations reflecting the safety-critical nature of the work and the time-bound return to work processes that are so important to TOC productivity.
These include:

- Train Movement RIS-3452-TOM
- Personal Track Safety (PTS) medicals for rail, engineering or construction workers operating on or near active railway lines
- Signal Passed at Dange
- Resumption of Duty Medical
- Special Exam/Report

occupational health appointment, and we operate a clinically robust yet rapid turnaround service, which provides our rail clients, with Fit for Work (F1, F2, U1, U2) assessment outcomes within a very short window.
