In order to complete any training or work on the railway, you must first be deemed fit to work (Network Rail Standard NR/L2/OHS/00124 Competence Specific Fitness Medical Requirements).

A Network Rail Medical Assessment will need to be completed prior to being enrolled onto the PTS course. The appointment will provide you with the required pre-requisites to commence the PTS course and work on the railway. The results of the Medical Assessment will be uploaded onto you Sentinel profile.

What to bring on the day

• Current and Valid Passport
• Visa/Residency Permit/EU Settlement Letter (if required)
• Proof of National Insurance (HMRC Letter or Payslip)
• Proof of Address (Bank statement or utility bill dated within the last 3 months)
• Name, address and telephone number of your GP
• Glasses (if worn)• Hearing Aids (if worn)

The Medical Assessment

The objective of the medical assessment is to ensure that employers meet their duty of care, so that individuals working on the railway infrastructure are not subject to increased risk of harm to themselves, their colleagues, or in some cases members of the public, due to any foreseeable underlying medical condition.

Before starting the medical assessment, the medical professional carrying out the assessment will explain the process and how your personal information will be used and stored. You will be asked to sign a declaration and consent form. During the medical assessment, depending on the medical requirement, all or some of the below will be assessed:

» Regular Vision and Colour Vision
» Diabetes
» Balance and Mobility
» Hearing
» Height and Weight - BMI
» General Health
» Blood Pressure
» Respiratory
» Protein and Glucose

You may be asked to complete a consent form to enable Tec Training Occupational Health Services to write to your GP for additional information. Alternatively, you may be referred onward to an Occupational Health Physician if you have a condition which is more serious and may require ongoing assessment.

Results for the Medical will be uploaded onto your Sentinel card/profile within 72 hours of the event. Should there be any complication with the result, we will endeavour to resolve the matter with the Medical Review Officer (MRO) within a time frame of 7 working days. If the Nurse identifies any underlying medical conditions, you will be referred to your GP for further analysis.
