CERT Training in partnership with CMS, an Authorised ARA Health Professional, provides Category 1, 2 and 3 rail safety medicals, as well as pre-employment medicals and other services nationally.

Often your employer will specify which rail medical you require but it can be helpful to understand the differences in medicals and which one will be the most relevant to you:
Cat 1 Medical: The highest level of rail medical for rail workers or contractors undertaking a safety critical role requiring a high level of attentiveness to their tasks and where sudden incapacity may result in a serious incident affecting the public or the rail network.
Cat 2 Medical: Applies to rail workers or contractors undertaking a safety critical role however, a sudden medical event or incapacity will not result in a serious incident affecting public safety.
Cat 3 Medical: An assessment designed to help non-safety critical workers make sure their health and fitness does not impact the rail network.
