Why is a health certificate required?

A health certificate is required by law for employees working in safety-critical functions in rail and metro operations, such as train drivers, dispatchers or signalmen. The purpose is to ensure that you are medically fit to perform your duties without endangering passengers or colleagues.

What does the legislation say?

According to the Swedish Transport Agency's guidelines and EU regulations, certain groups of personnel must undergo health examinations at regular intervals. The requirements include both an initial examination and ongoing periodic examinations, depending on age and job type.

Initial and ongoing health checks
Upon hiring, you'll undergo a thorough medical examination to ensure you meet all physical and mental requirements for the role. This is followed by regular check-ups - often every 1, 3 or 5 years - depending on your age and role.

What does the survey involve?

We tailor the examination to the applicable regulatory requirements and your specific position. A health certificate for rail and metro personnel with us includes:

General health status and medical record review

We start with a conversation and a review of your medical history and any medications.

Blood pressure and heart rate

We measure your blood pressure and heart rate to assess the condition of your cardiovascular system.

Vision and hearing checks (including audiometry)

Your vision and hearing are tested as these senses are essential in safety-critical functions.

ECG (cardiac cardiogram)

An electrocardiogram is used to check your heart rhythm and any hidden heart conditions.

Urinalysis and possible drug test

We perform a urine test to screen for signs of illness and, if necessary, drugs.

Mental and cognitive assessment when needed

If required for your position, we will conduct an assessment of your mental and cognitive function.

We tailor the survey to the applicable regulatory requirements and your specific position.
