FTW Medical Assessment Guideline - Consultation Workshop in Toowoomba

Dear Colleague,

The Natural Gas Industry recognises it has a diverse workforce that needs to carry out their activities in remote locations away from sophisticated medical facilities and rapid emergency response. Medical Fitness to Work (FTW) is an integral element in ensuring the safety of staff and contractors in the industry.

The Fitness to Work Project Team has been making solid progress with the development of a baseline medical guideline to address both pre-employment and periodic medical assessments which is aimed at improving the health and safety of those who work in the CSG industry.

The intent is for the approach to be progressively adopted across the industry. This will lead to improved workforce health and also have the benefit of a single, recognised approach that is accepted by all Safer Together member companies.

Safer Together is conducting a series of consultation workshops for members interested in reviewing and contributing to the final development of the Medical Assessment Guideline. Members can also ask questions on set up and implementation of the FTW assessment process in their own organisation.

Note:

1. Apart from the workshop in Toowoomba there will be another regional workshop held in Roma (date to be advised)

2. You only need to attend one of the workshops

3. The Consultation Workshops will be useful for those responsible for establishing and implementing FTW programs in their company, including HR, HSE or workforce management.
