FIT TO WORK CERTIFICATES @ La Romaine Family Medical & Dental Centre

“Fit to work” or “Fitness to Work” is a medical assessment done when an employer wishes to be sure an employee can safely do a specific job or task. The purpose is to determine if medically the employee can perform the job or task under the working conditions. Fit to work assessments are most often done to determine medical fitness after an illness or injury, but are sometimes done after employment has been offered, as requested by the employer, or as a condition of a job transfer.

A fit to work assessment may be done for the following reasons (but are not limited to):

• There has been a significant change in the working conditions.
• An employee transfers to a position where the working conditions are significantly different.
• The job at work has been modified and the returning worker is still going for physiotherapy, rehabilitation, or both.
• There has been a change in an employee’s health (e.g., returning to work after recovery from a serious illness or injury).
• A medical condition may limit, reduce or prevent the person from performing a new or current job effectively (e.g., musculoskeletal conditions that limit mobility).
• A medical condition is likely to make it unsafe to do the job (e.g., a person may unpredictably become unconscious in a hazardous situation).
• A medical condition is likely to make it unsafe both for him/her self, co-workers or the public (e.g., driving is essential to the job but the person is subject to unpredictable and sudden unconsciousness, or a food product inspection by an inspector with deficient colour vision).
• A medical condition may be made worse by the job (e.g., excessive physical exertion by an employee with a heart or lung disorder).
