What to Expect During Your PDP and Commercial Driver Medical Assessment

Getting certified for a Public Driving Permit (PDP) or heavy-duty site work doesn’t have to take all day. Knowing what tests are required in advance helps drivers prepare and ensures same-day certification.

Standard Screening Checklist:

  • Visual Acuity & Color Vision: Testing distance, depth perception, and peripheral vision.
  • Vital Signs & Urine Screening: Checking blood pressure, glucose levels, and underlying health indicators.
  • Physical & Audiometric Checks: Ensuring general physical agility and hearing health for safe operation.

Takeaway: Booking your assessment early at a dedicated occupational health clinic guarantees quick turnaround times and hassle-free clearance.
