This launch guide maps the topic, the source base and the practical questions. Check the linked official authority before acting on a rule, deadline, price or safety requirement.
What this guide covers
what the doctor may tell your employer. One page per hazard that legally triggers a check — night work, display screen work, noise above the action value, chemical agents, biological agents, vibration, manual handling, driving as work — each with the interval the law sets, what the examination includes, who pays for it and for the travel, what a restriction written on the decision means for your job, and the privacy line that matters most: the employer receives a fitness decision, not your diagnoses.
One focus is "Night work: the check interval, what is tested, and what a restriction means".
How to use it
Use The occupational health check: who must go, how often, and as a map of the process: identify the situation, check which country or authority owns the rule, and confirm the current version before a deadline or application.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.
