Security and Related Activities (Control) Regulations 1997

A security officer whose licence is endorsed under section 24 must undergo a medical examination of the type prescribed by regulation 15(2) —

at least once in every 12 months, commencing on the day on which the endorsement was made; and

when directed to do so by a licensing officer under subregulation (2).

A licensing officer is to direct a security officer whose licence is endorsed under section 24 to undergo a medical examination if the licensing officer reasonably believes that the security officer may be unable to pass the medical examination.

A direction under subregulation (2) is to be in writing given to the security officer and may provide for one or more of the following —

the time within which the medical examination is to be undertaken;

the medical practitioner who is to conduct the medical examination;

the time within which the security officer is to give to a licensing officer the medical certificate relating to the examination.

A security officer who has undergone a medical examination is to give to a licensing officer a medical certificate relating to the examination within one month after undergoing the examination, or, if an earlier time is provided in a direction under subregulation (2), that earlier time.

A medical certificate relating to a medical examination is to include a statement by the medical practitioner who conducts the examination as to the period of time the practitioner has known the security officer.
