What is a Medical Observation Form?
A medical observation form is an assessment guide that can be used to assess if a worker is fit for duty. The form can help with an analysis of a person’s condition to determine their ability to work safely.

If a person presents for work in an unfit state, the following actions may need to be taken:
- The person may need to be immediately removed from their place of work and be prohibited from driving a vehicle.
- Transport should be arranged for the person to go back to their home, if necessary.
- Before permitting the person back to work, discussions and investigations about the matter should be undertaken to determine if the person is fit to conduct work activities safely.
Prescription or Over the Counter Drugs
If a person has used, or intends to use, prescription or over the counter drugs, it is the responsibility of that person to ensure that the drug in question will not cause any impairment that may adversely affect the safety and health of themselves and any other workers at the workplace.
