With more than 1,200 people from around the globe convening to learn from each other, share knowledge, and connect through shared experience, the American Occupational Health Conference (AOHC) is the largest meeting of occupational and environmental health professionals in the world, and Safer Togethers’ Fitness to Work: Medical Assessment Guideline was there!
In April, Dr. Max Hills (Chief Medical Officer, Chevron) flew the Safer Together flag at the conference – generating significant interest with his Published Session ‘Safer Together: Towards a Common Medical Standard for remote and offshore energy industry workplaces in Australia’.
In the session, Max informed interested delegates that the Fitness to Work Medical Assessment Guideline was developed through a collaborative process, providing a consistent approach for the assessment of work fitness for remote and offshore locations in Australia – and has been accepted by most major oil and gas operators in Australia.
