BOOK A CATEGORY 3 RAIL MEDICAL
CATEGORY 3 RAIL MEDICAL BY JOBFIT
The Category 3 Rail Medical is for Around the Track Person Workers. Around the Track Person Workers are also known as non-safety critical workers. Their ill health will not impact directly on the safety of the rail network or the public. As around the track personnel these workers are responsible for their own safety and the safety of fellow workers. A medical assessment will check the ability of a worker to walk in the rail corridor, work under supervision, and identify and move to a safe place.
The Track Safety Health Assessment for ATTP (Category 3) focuses on medical conditions that could impact on a worker’s ability to detect and react quickly to an oncoming train or warnings. The assessment comprises eyesight and hearing tests, and an assessment to ensure safe mobility around the track, as well as a questionnaire to help identify any other serious conditions that could affect safety around the track.
In short, the Category 3 rail medical is the minimum requirement to work within the rail corridor.
All health assessments of rail safety workers in Australia are conducted in line with the National Standard for Health Assessment of Rail Safety Workers.
MEDICAL ASSESSMENT
The medical includes an assessment of:
- Hearing (up to 2000 Hz)

PERIODIC ASSESSMENTS
This medical is valid from the date of the issue until the employee reaches 40 years of age. Periodic health assessments every 5 years thereafter are necessary.
