BOOK A RAIL SAFETY WORKERS MEDICAL FOR AN EMPLOYEE
CATEGORY 1 RAIL MEDICAL, CATEGORY 2 RAIL MEDICAL & CATEGORY 3 RAIL MEDICAL
Rail safety workers medical assessments are conducted to manage potential risks posed by the ill health of rail industry workers.
Under rail safety legislation, rail transport operators must minimise risks and protect the safety of the public, rail safety workers and their fellow workers, and the environment.
A Rail Safety Workers Medical is required for all rail industry workers under the National Standard for Health Assessment of Rail Safety Workers.
The Standard ensures a consistent application of health standards across the Australian rail industry and all health assessments conducted by Jobfit are in line with the Standard.
Jobfit doctors undertake Rail Safety Worker Health Assessments and are accredited Authorised Health Professionals under the national accreditation scheme, including a Jobfit Rail Specialist who is also an accredited trainer.
TYPES OF RAIL SAFETY WORKERS MEDICALS
There are three different types of health assessment based on whether the work undertaken is safety critical or non-safety critical.
CATEGORY 1 RAIL MEDICAL
This applies to workers who undertake safety critical work and whose ill health may result in sudden incapacity or collapse, potentially leading to a serious incident affecting public safety or the rail network.
CATEGORY 2 RAIL MEDICAL
This applies to workers who undertake safety critical work where sudden incapacity will not impact on the safety of the public or the rail network.
CATEGORY 3 RAIL MEDICAL
This applies to workers who undertake non-safety critical work and whose health and fitness does not impact directly on the rail network but who need to protect their own safety and that of other workers.
