Driver fatigue and sleep apnoea
Long-haul schedules combined with undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea are a leading contributor to fleet incidents.
Logistics sector
Occupational health for logistics and transport fleets
For a commercial fleet the medical is a road-safety control. Undiagnosed sleep apnoea, uncorrected vision and poorly controlled diabetes are the three findings that most often sit behind a preventable incident, and all three are cheap to detect.

Exposure profile
What your people areactually exposed to
The hazards below drive every test in the logistics protocol. Nothing is included because it is standard — each one answers a specific exposure.
Vision and night glare
Night driving demands contrast sensitivity and glare recovery that a standard acuity test alone will not reveal.
Metabolic risk
Sedentary posture and irregular meals drive diabetes and hypertension prevalence well above the general population.
Manual handling in warehousing
Loading, unloading and order picking concentrate lumbar load across the warehouse workforce.
Examination protocol
The test panel, andthe reason for each test
This is the panel an inspector will ask you to justify. Every row states the exposure it answers and the cycle it runs on.
| Test | Why it is in the panel | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Vision, night glare and colour | Commercial driving fitness | Annual |
| Blood sugar and HbA1c | Metabolic risk control | Annual |
| Blood pressure and ECG | Cardiac event risk at the wheel | Annual |
| Sleep-apnoea screening | Fatigue-related incident risk | Annual |
| Musculoskeletal assessment | Warehouse manual handling | Annual |
