## About this tender

The Health and Wellbeing Professions Committee (HWProC) is seeking to raise the standard of railway knowledge amongst Occupational Health Professionals. A syllabus has been devised which covers all areas of railway specific knowledge which will benefit occupational health professionals wishing to work in the rail sector.

Companies have raised some significant concerns over their occupational health provision. The HWProC have been made aware that many companies do not fully utilise their Occ. Health provision and as such see it as an expensive 'extra' and do not procure good consistent and helpful occupational health provision for employees. There is a large cost to industry in Occ health professionals not having a good understanding of the railway industry and individual roles within rail. This lack of rail specific knowledge has impacted on recommendations made and has caused frictions between employers, employees, trade unions and occupational health.

Whilst there are many courses available which offer a generic background to the rail industry, to our knowledge, none offer specific information targeted at occupational health professionals. As part of the RSSB Health and Wellbeing Roadmap we have committed to improving occupational health provision and this work forms part of that strategy.

The HWProC is seeking the syllabus to be developed into a training course which can then be delivered in multiple locations.

The HWProC is seeking tenders which will develop the established training syllabus into appropriate course materials to form a comprehensive training course.
