Understanding the Site Eligibility Check - You DO NOT have authority to work at a site
The myRIW platform enables Rail Industry Workers to verify their Authority to Work at any RIW site. This is assessed by comparing the worker’s current profile information against the specific access requirements set for that site within the RIW system.
This article explains how to interpret the outcome of a Site Eligibility Check, where the worker is NOT AUTHORISED to work at the site. This is confirmed by the display of the following status:
This instruction applies to the following user roles:
- Rail Industry Worker (myRIW)
1 | If you are not authorised to work at a site, the following information will be displayed: |

3 | Network Requirements: If applicable, Network Requirements are shown under Network Requirements. These may be grouped as:
There may be one or multiple groups, and all groups must be met. Example:A single required competency is held and valid. The amber Expiring Soon tag indicates that it will expire within 4 weeks. ![]() |
4 | Project Requirements: If applicable, Project Requirements are shown under Project Requirements. These may be grouped as:
There may be one or multiple groups, and all groups must be met Example: One job role is required and is valid. In a second group, the worker must hold the listed competency, which is currently valid, but expiring soon. In the third grouping, at least one job role is required. The worker holds one job role in a valid state and as the two other job roles are not held by the worker, displays a status of missing but not required to satisfy the grouping validity, in grey indicating that the group requirement is met. ![]() |
5 | Site Requirements: If applicable, Site Requirements are shown under Site Requirements. These may be grouped as:
There may be one or multiple groups, and all groups must be met Example:To meet the site requirements, two specific job roles and one competency are required. In this example, the worker holds both required job roles. The Valid Until date shows when one of the job roles is due to expire. The Next Key Expiry indicates that the worker’s medical is scheduled to expire on the same date. However, the worker does not meet the mandatory competency requirement. The competency is listed as Missing, meaning it has either not been assigned to the worker or is not currently in a valid, verified state.
