Medical Result

Medical result selected	Pass/Fail Outcome
Fit for Duty Unconditional	Fit for Duty
Fit for Duty Conditional	Fit for Duty
Fit for Duty Subject to Job Modification	Fit for Duty
Fit for Duty Subject to Review	Fit for Duty
Temporarily Unfit	Not Fit for Duty
Permanently Unfit	Not Fit for Duty

A medical result recorded as either Temporarily Unfit or Permanently Unfit may change the validity of certain competencies and/or job roles the cardholder holds, which may impact their authority to work.

Drug & Alcohol Result

Where a drug and/or alcohol screen is required as part of the cardholder’s medical - i.e. a new medical, change of medical category etc. - the AHP can record the outcome. 

The following table shows the RIW System outcome for the selected result by the AHP. 

Drug & Alcohol Test result selected	Pass / Fail Outcome
Confirmed Positive	Fail
Negative	Pass
Test Refusal	Fail
No Test Required	Pass

If either of the separate drugs and/or alcohol test results are recorded as Fail, it will affect the cardholder’s authority to work as an immediate and an automatic National Block will be imposed. 

This means the cardholder will not be able work on participating RIW program rail networks. 

However, each network can decide independently whether the block can be lifted for their network alone. 

Random, post-incident and show cause D&A tests

These types of D&A tests are not managed via an AHP login.  Where a Network Operator conducts D&A testing under their Drug and Alcohol Management Program, any confirmed positives or failures will be managed via the RIW Program Blocks and Suspension Rules.
