Pre-trip medical examinations: what the law requires

If an organisation has drivers — company cars, delivery, taxis, buses, special machinery — pre-trip and post-trip examinations are mandatory under the road safety law and the Labour Code. Only a health worker in an organisation licensed for such examinations may perform them. A stamp without a licence is a forged document, and it is the first thing the traffic police check.

What to do right now

Identify who is covered
All drivers on the staff or under contract; self-employed drivers examine themselves. Every departure, not once a day.
Find a licensed provider
The licence must list "medical examinations (pre-shift, pre-trip, post-shift, post-trip)". AYUMED holds it — verifiable in the Roszdravnadzor register.
Contract and internal order
A contract, a schedule and a location — at your site or at our station; plus an internal order on the examination procedure.
Keep the log
Each examination is registered with the signatures of the driver and the health worker, kept for five years. An electronic log is acceptable.
Stamp the waybill
Date, time, the stamp certifying fitness for duty, signature and printed name of the health worker.

Call an ambulance if

A fleet of 5–10 drivers or more — a subscription with visits to your site
One-off examinations before specific trips
Pre-shift examinations on production sites and construction projects
An inspection by the traffic police or labour inspectorate is coming
Passenger and dangerous-goods transport — post-trip examinations are mandatory too

What not to do

Do not have a paramedic stamp waybills without the organisation’s licence
Do not skip post-trip examinations where they are required
Do not keep the log for less than five years
Do not confuse pre-trip examinations with periodic medical examinations — they are separate obligations

What the crew does

Questions

What is the fine for missing pre-trip examinations?

Under Article 12.31.1 of the Administrative Code: up to 5,000 ₽ for officials and up to 30,000 ₽ for legal entities for each vehicle released without an examination; liability increases in the event of an accident.

Can examinations be done remotely?

Since 2023 they can, with certified equipment and a telemedicine platform; most organisations find in-person examinations simpler.

How much does it cost?

By contract: per examination for one-off work, or a monthly subscription for a fleet. We calculate it from the number of drivers and the schedule.
