Before you can be issued with an airside driving permit you will need to pass an airside driving medical to ensure you are fit and healthy enough to do the job safely. This examination is required for all personnel who will be driving vehicles within the perimeter designated as airside. This can include the runways, access areas and outer roads.
Airside Medicals exist to ensure that basic medical requirements are met. These requirements have been set by occupational health providers together with the Department for Transport (DfT) and are based on the risks involved with driving in the airport environment.
As there are a whole host of vehicles used in airside operations, a medical is required for anyone wanting a permit to drive within the airside environment, this includes class 1 (less than 3.5 tonnes) or class 2 vehicles (over 3.5 tonnes).
