Order 43
Coal Services Health Monitoring Requirements for Coal Mine Workers Order No. 43 (Order 43) builds on the processes and systems that were established under Order 41 to protect the health and safety of workers in the NSW coal industry.
Order 43 replaces Order 41 and came into effect on 1 July 2018.
Under Order 43, health assessments are required:
- Pre-placement – The Order requires that coal mine workers complete a pre-placement medical assessment prior to commencing work at a coal operation. This includes new workers entering the industry and workers transferring across operations.
- Periodically – The Order requires that coal mine workers undertake the periodic medical assessment:
- every three (3) years from the date of the coal worker’s pre-placement medical assessment carried out under the Order, or not more than three (3) years from the date they commenced work, whichever is earlier; and
- no more than every three (3) years after that
- At exit from working in coal operations.
Contact us for assistance with pre-placement order 43 assessments, periodic assessments or exit medical assessments. Our proprietary platform can assist in managing the maintenance of currency for your employees. Contact us for a demonstration of ROLF.
Medical components
Many of the components of the pre-placement and periodic medical assessments remain the same under Order 43, though the following components have been added:
- Increased frequency of chest x-rays: underground coal workers must undergo a chest x-ray every three (3) years; open cut workers involved in the production, processing or maintenance of coal must undergo a chest x-ray every three (3) years; workers with a history of hazardous dust exposure must undergo a chest x-ray every three (3) years. Other workers will undergo a chest x-ray every six (6) years.
- Respiratory FIT testing now forms part of the pre-placement and periodic health surveillance assessments as a proactive step in protecting workers’ health and providing ongoing education in the use of personal protective equipment.
Introduction of an exit medical assessment
In addition to the pre-placement and periodic medical assessments, Order 43 also includes an Exit Medical Assessment.
