Rail health assessments are crucial to ensure the safety and well-being of workers in the rail industry. These assessments evaluate a worker's physical and mental fitness to perform their duties safely. Occasionally, there might be a need to request a review of a rail health assessment to obtain further health information from the individual's treating medical practitioners. This article provides a comprehensive guide on how and when to request such a review using the SCREEN system.

A review of a rail health assessment might be necessary when additional health information is required from the individual’s treating medical practitioners. This additional information helps ensure that the assessment accurately reflects the individual's current health status and any medical conditions that could impact their ability to perform their duties safely.

When a rail health assessment is completed in Carelever Screen as a pre-employment medical assessment, KINNECT does not automatically perform any subsequent reviews that may be required. This is because we do not know if you have employed the candidate and, as such, if the review is required. Should you wish to have the review performed, you will need to reply to our email with the results and specifically request that the review be done.

Immediate Reviews: If the review is required for something that needs immediate attention (e.g., a letter from a treating doctor, pathology test, sleep study, etc.), the review can be done now and in Carelever screen once you reply to the results email requesting it.

Long-Term Reviews: If the review pertains to something longer-term (e.g., annual review with a treating medical professional, annual blood tests, annual sleep studies), this review cannot be done in Carelever Screen and must be done in Carelever Monitor as a health surveillance service. Please refer to our help articles on how to send to monitor and request an assessment.
