There are two groups of specialised doctors who can issue a certificate of medical fitness to employees - the general practitioners and occupational physicians.
General practitioner can issue a certificate to every person (i.e. including any employee whose work is classified as category I - lowest risk work). Occupational physicians issue a certificate of medical fitness in the case of work classified in higher risk categories - II.-IV. (e.g. night work, work with heavy burdens, etc.).
On the above website it’s possible to find a list of general practitioners or occupational physicians by entering the region and specialisation of the doctor one is looking for. It can also be searched by entering the doctor's name.
