Rail Workers Safety Medical Categories
Why medicals are essential for working in the Rail Corridor?
To obtain a Rail Industry Worker card (RIW) you are required to undertake a medical assessment conducted by an ‘Authorised Health Professional’. At a basic level, these test your ability to be in the rail corridor and hear instructions, move to a safe place, and maintain an awareness of your surroundings. The Rail Safety Workers Medical forms part of the Transport (Rail Safety) Act 2010 which requires rail transport operators to have and implement a health and fitness management program.
