Who is responsible for administering the FFD program?

The Medical Review Officer is primarily responsible for administering the Fitness for Duty (FFD) program. This role encompasses evaluating and interpreting medical information to ensure that employees can safely perform their job duties without risking their health or the safety of others. The Medical Review Officer is trained to assess medical evaluations and fitness assessments, making them the key figure in overseeing compliance with health standards and procedures established in the FFD program.

Additionally, other roles may have responsibilities related to the FFD program, such as monitoring employee performance, ensuring that safety protocols are followed, or involving human resources in the policies. However, these functions typically support or align with the overarching medical criteria and evaluations that the Medical Review Officer manages. This specialized focus on medical assessments is critical in maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the FFD program.
