The Rail Commissioner is required to have a drug and alcohol management program in place that complies with legislative requirements and provides information around drug and alcohol provisions.

During the 2016-17 period, 5177 alcohol tests and 837 drug tests were completed. To date, the program has randomly tested approximately 700 rail safety workers during the span of the financial year.

Health and Fitness Management Program

To assist with managing the risks posed by the ill-health of rail safety workers. The National Standard for Health Assessment of Rail Safety Workers provides guidance for rail transport operators to meet these obligations.

The frequency of periodic health assessments of rail safety workers is based on risk of ill-health determined by age and safety critical level of the role.
