Part 4: Medical Evaluation

Imagine the result Do I Have to Be Medically Evaluated? Yes. Driving a CMV places physical and mental demands on the driver that requires medical evaluation. ARCADIS manages the physical examination process through WorkCare (with a few exceptions not addressed in this training). Contact WorkCare to arrange a medical examination at a WorkCare facility near your work location. If you are already participating in medical monitoring under HAZWOPER, you will automatically be examined for DOT purposes when you take your HAZWOPER physical. You are required to renew the medical evaluation every 2 years. WorkCare
