Working on wind turbines? You’ll need an RUK medical.
If you're working on land-based or near‑offshore wind farms, you must pass a RenewableUK (RUK) Wind Turbine Medical. These medicals follow the official RenewableUK fitness-to-work guidelines to make sure you’re fit and safe for the unique demands of wind turbine jobs. At Humber Med in Beverley, just minutes from Hull and the Humber ports, you can get your RUK medical quickly.
