Medical check and health and safety training — what to expect
Two steps before your first shift: what they cover and how long they take.
Before you start on the floor, you have a pre-employment medical check and health and safety training. Both are required by law, not a formality you can skip.
The medical check
You get a referral from us or the employer. The visit usually takes an hour or two; the doctor confirms you can do the specific job — for example, working at height or driving a forklift.
Health and safety training
Initial training has two parts: general and job-specific. You learn how to work safely, where the emergency exits are and what to do if there’s an accident.
