The exam evaluates vision (including depth perception and peripheral vision), hearing, physical mobility, and overall health. Operators must be free from conditions that could cause sudden incapacitation or impair their ability to safely operate equipment.
BlueHive connects employers with a network of independent occupational medicine providers who perform crane operator physicals and have experience evaluating heavy equipment operators.
