Airside Medicals
Airside Medicals ensure that basic medical requirements are met when working at an airport, they are required for all personnel who will be driving vehicles within the perimeter of the airport, this includes runways, access areas and outer roads.
These medicals have been set by the Department of Transport along with Occupational Health providers.
As there are multiple types of vehicles used in airside operations, an Airside 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). The Airside Operations Medical and Airport Driving Medical are one and the same so that employees are covered for all eventualities.
