FAQ

Safety-critical medicals are comprehensive health assessments designed specifically for individuals working in high-risk industries such as construction, rail, and energy. These medicals play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of employees while safeguarding the integrity of operations.

Employers in these sectors have a legal duty of care to their employees. This includes ensuring that individuals are physically fit to perform their roles and that any potential health risks are identified and addressed. Relevant legislation, such as Railway Group Standards and Network Rail guidelines, outlines specific requirements for safety-critical medical assessments.

  • Ensuring Fitness for Duty: Regular medical assessments help to identify any underlying health conditions that could potentially compromise an employee's ability to perform their duties safely.
  • Early Detection of Health Issues: By conducting thorough examinations, we can detect potential health problems at an early stage, allowing for timely intervention and treatment.
  • Reducing Accidents: Safety-critical medicals contribute to a safer workplace by ensuring that employees are fit to work and that any necessary accommodations are in place to mitigate risks.
  • Protecting Employees and Employers: By prioritising employee health and safety, employers can reduce the likelihood of accidents, injuries, and potential legal liabilities.

A safety-critical medical assessment typically involves a thorough physical examination, including tests for vision, hearing, lung function, and drug and alcohol screening. The specific tests will depend on your industry and role.

To prepare for your assessment, ensure you have any relevant medical records or prescriptions on hand. It's also helpful to be aware of any specific requirements or guidelines related to your job or industry.

If an employee fails a safety-critical medical assessment, they may be required to undergo further testing or treatment to address any underlying health issues. In some cases, the employee may be restricted from performing certain job duties until their health condition is resolved.

The frequency of safety-critical medical assessments varies depending on the industry and specific job role. However, many industries require regular assessments to ensure the continued fitness of their employees.

If you develop a medical condition that could affect your ability to perform your job duties, it's important to inform your employer and seek medical advice. Your employer may require you to undergo a follow-up assessment to determine your fitness for work.
