Medical examination (Badania lekarskie) for a welder in Poland: what to know

Legal work in Poland is impossible without medical clearance. We explain which doctors a welder needs to visit, how vision and lungs are checked, and who pays for it.

A welder's job involves health risks. Therefore, Polish law strictly requires a medical clearance (Orzeczenie lekarskie) before the first day of work.

The Badania lekarskie procedure is mandatory, but there's nothing to fear. Here is how it works for Zvaryuvalnyk.xyz candidates.

Who pays for the medical exam?

The employer issues the referral (Skierowanie na badania). Our agency covers all the costs of the medical board.

Which doctors do you need to see?

For a welder, the standard board includes:

1. Ophthalmologist: Checks visual acuity. Welding with glasses under the mask is allowed!

2. Spirometry: Lung capacity test (due to welding fumes).

3. Neurologist: Basic reflex check.

4. Occupational medicine doctor: Issues the final certificate.

Work at heights (Powyżej 3 metrów)

If your job involves working at heights, psychotests will be added to the list.

How long does it take?

Our coordinators book workers into private clinics, so the whole medical exam takes 2-3 hours in one day.
