Mine Medical Surveillance and Fitness to Work Certification

A structured medical surveillance programme protects workers and shields operations from disputed claims and unfit deployments. This course guides occupational health teams through entry, periodic and exit examinations, fitness to work decisions and the record systems that support them. Content reflects the risk based health protocols used across African mining houses.

  • Design a medical surveillance programme matched to occupational health risks.
  • Conduct entry, periodic and exit examinations against defined protocols.
  • Make defensible fitness to work decisions for high risk mining tasks.
  • Maintain confidential health records that support surveillance and claims.
  • Coordinate surveillance findings with hygiene exposure data and controls.
  • Manage exit certificates and referral of occupational disease cases.
