Fitness to drive
The SA Society of Occupational Medicine guidelines indicating the minimum requirements for fitness to drive were last published in 2005 and may be downloaded from the SASOM> website.
These guidlelines
were taken
extensively from the Drivers Medical Group, Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), Swansea. These are British guidelines
and are reviewed every six months, the latest version of which was published in September 2007 and may be downloaded by clicking below or from the DVLA> site. It must be remembered that while they are widely applicable in South Africa, care must be taken to ensure that
South African legislative requirements, inclusive of the Occupational Health & Safety Act,
Labour Relations Act and Employment Equity Act are taken into account when certifying
fitness to drive.
