Safer Together Fitness to Work Medicals

oil and gasWhat is a Safer Together Fitness to Work Medical Examination?
The Safer Together is an Australian member-led organisation comprising of Oil and Gas Exploration, Production Industry Operating companies and Contract Partner companies.

A Safer Together Medical Assessment Guideline has been developed to ensure consistency across all of the industries represented. This is not a statutory medical assessment, however it is designed to determine fitness to work in specific environments such as remote locations, in Australian offshore areas and include many different role requirements, e.g. safety critical roles, working in isolation, vehicle operation, emergency response, the use of respiratory protection and fitness for HUET and BOSIET training.

These medicals also assist contractors in being able to use this medical to access different sites without the need to complete a new medical for every site.

When booking a Safer Together medical, the “Safer Together Referral Form” must be completed and provided to Jobfit at the time of booking.

Conducted by our national network of AHPRA- registered practitioners ensuring workers are fit to perform high-risk tasks in remote or safety-sensitive environments. This includes roles involving isolation, vehicle operation, emergency response, and the use of respiratory protection.

Jobfit’s accredited clinicians can issue a Safer Together ‘Fit Slip’ to quickly mobilise qualified workers, supporting our clients’ requirements for the highest levels of efficiency and health care.
