Abstract	Marie-Christine Plat onderzocht of een beroepsspecifiek Preventief Medisch Onderzoek (PMO) bij zware beroepen, zoals bij brandweerlieden, relevant en bruikbaar is in de praktijk. Twee nieuwe beroepsspecifieke fysieke testen bleken betrouwbaar en valide. Bij zowel beroeps als vrijwillige brandweerlieden kan het PMO signalen van verminderde belastbaarheid in kaart brengen die beperkingen kunnen opleveren voor de uitvoering van hun werk.
