What if a new Employer changes his mind about offering me a job once he has seen extra protective measures are required?
If you change jobs, your new employer will not have access to the full fitness for task check data until 10 days after they have added your new employer details on the database. They will however be able to see if you have had a health check for safety critical work. If there are any recommendations, then your new employer should make reasonable adjustments wherever possible to accommodate any additional protective measures. This is particularly relevant if you are classed as having a disability. In some cases it may not be ‘reasonably practicable’ i.e. not really possible, for your employer to make the required changes, for example if because of a certain health problem you are barred from driving, for instance, you wouldn’t be able to be employed to operate mobile plant. If though you believe you have been discriminated against you should speak to your Trade Union, or contact CBH for guidance. Alternatively contact ACAS or the Citizens Advice Bureau.
