Provided by our affiliate company, SVH Consultants. The exam will be provided by an experienced nurse practitioner.
The nurse practitioners that work for our affiliate company (SVH Consultants) are listed on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners and therefore can perform the required DOT Physical exams (the requirement for Crane Operators) necessary to determine their fitness to operate a crane.
Employer’s Responsibility.
Employers are required to qualify their crane operators by determining whether they are able to operate the specific crane they will work on, perform the type of work they will be assigned, and address any accommodations that may or may not be provided.” Certification bodies can’t know such details, so they cannot determine whether or not an operator is physically qualified.
The ASME B30.5 standard also requires more frequent physical examinations than the established recertification schedules. Also, due to privacy and legal concerns, physical qualifications are not portable between employers.
