DOT Physicals and 19A Exams Buffalo, NY

DOT Physicals

DOT Physicals are compulsory for securing a license. The physical examinations will make sure that a prospective driver has no pre-existing medical conditions that might hinder him or her from driving safely and responsibly. The physicals are designed to meet the necessary federal regulatory requirements of a particular state. Included in these tests are the prerequisites for the Department of Transportation: the reviewing of a potential driver's medical history, a physical exam, and the DOT medical card. HealthWorks-WNY can help you secure the necessary documents needed for your license with efficiency and responsibility.

19A Examination

Very similar to DOT physicals are the 19A exams for potential school bus drivers. If you're planning to work as a school bus driver, federal regulations mandate you to successfully complete the 19A exam to ensure your safety and the safety of your passengers. School bus drivers who drive across state lines may require taking both the DOT and the 19A examinations. HealthWorks-WNY can provide you with both if you so wish.

The DOT medical examination from HealthWorks-WNY consists of a physical exam to test one's physical capabilities. The Department of Transportation requires drivers to have at least 20/40 vision. The vision test measures both eyes with or without the help of corrective lenses, and should the driver fail to meet the standard, the vision must be corrected and a re-test must be made. The hearing test from HealthWorks-WNY tests a potential driver's hearing capacity with or without the help of a hearing aid. If a driver fails to hear with both ears, he or she will be disqualified. The blood pressure test is essential in all DOT physicals as well. Abnormal blood pressure, depending on the degree, will be dealt with in proper measure. Your health history will also be analyzed to ensure that you are in tip-top shape.

These are the areas to be evaluated on your DOT physical, all of which HealthWorks-WNY can provide with the best of their abilities. There are other tests included in the physical exam, most of which are visible online.
