Abstract
Authorized physicians realize medical fitness assessment for work based on knowledge of the working conditions/ health risks at work and the results of occupational medical examinations of assessed persons. Knowledge and correct application of professional criteria minimize the risk of incorrect decisions.
The importance of this procedure is particularly obvious in higher health risks, such as in transportation occupations associated with public endangerment. Article informs about professional criteria for medical fitness assessment in railway occupations and their application in practice.
