With the festive season comes time off and annual leave for many. But the rail industry, this is a little different. With trains running throughout the Christmas season, this means maintenance work is vital to keep these services running.
Therefore, it’s vital that rail workers have in date PTS Medicals and Drug & Alcohol tests. Ensuring they can work on the railway when required to. As they show the worker is fit, healthy, and safe to be working in the potentially high-risk environment.
Please note that our offices are closed from 24th December to 4th January. Any emails received during the Christmas period will be responded to upon our return on the 4th of January. If you’d like to inquire about our PTS medicals, please get in touch via email at info@acornoh.co.uk or phone on 01260 277797.
