Australia National Standard for Health Assessment of Rail Safety Workers 2024 2.3: Standard reporting framework: adopt the four outcomes, Fit for Duty Unconditional, Fit for Duty Subject to Review (including Subject to Job Modification for incumbents and provisional classification while a new condition is investigated), Temporarily Unfit for Duty and Permanently Unfit for Duty, with their defined meanings, review periods set by the Standard or the health professional, job modification such as equipment, roster or supervision changes only by agreement, and alternative duties or a lower category considered for unfit workers

What does 2.3 require?

The rail transport operator adopts the Standard's terminology for reporting and managing fitness for duty. Fit for Duty Unconditional means the worker meets all criteria, has no condition or risk likely to affect the inherent requirements now or in the foreseeable future, and is reviewed on the normal periodic schedule; stable, non-progressive visual impairment corrected by aids that must be worn at work falls in this category. Fit for Duty Subject to Review means the worker does not meet the unconditional criteria but the condition is sufficiently controlled to allow current duties on conditions, chiefly specific monitoring that may be more frequent than the periodic schedule, with the review period taken from the Standard or set by the health professional; for incumbents it includes Fit for Duty Subject to Job Modification, where the Authorised Health Professional after discussion with the operator recommends short-term changes to equipment, roster or supervision, and it may be applied provisionally, marked interim report, to a newly diagnosed condition that poses no immediate risk but needs prompt investigation. Temporarily Unfit for Duty means the worker cannot presently perform the duties of the category and may pose an immediate risk, must be promptly assessed and definitively categorised, and may be fit for alternative duties or a lower category. Permanently Unfit for Duty means a permanent or progressive condition predicted to render the worker unfit for 12 months or more, including refusal of treatment, with a lower category or redeployment to be considered. At Pre-placement, Subject to Review may make employment conditional on targeted monitoring, and job modification generally applies only to incumbents.
