Injury or Illness Reporting Guidelines Safety Critical Positions (SCP) INSTRUCTIONS AND RESPONSIBLITIES FOR EMPLOYEES As part of the mandatory Return to Work (RTW) program with Canadian Pacific Railway (CP), employees are responsible for providing information for the provision of suitable modified work. Whether you are injured or become ill while at work or during your personal time, you have an obligation to inform CP if you will be unable to perform your regular work duties and/or anticipate time off work. As a Safety Critical Position employee, you are also required by the Railway Safety Act to advise your Physician or Optometrist and Occupational Health Services of any medical condition(s) or medication(s) that may affect your ability to work safely. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Immediately (at your earliest opportunity or by the end of your shift) report to your supervisor/front line manager. Ensure that you obtain the Safety Critical Functional Abilities Form (FAF) from your manager or download and print off the Safety Critical FAF from the Return to Work Packages found online at: http://intranet.cpr.ca/employees/return-to-work OR http://www.cpr.ca/en/employees/return-to-work Seek immediate medical attention for assessment, care and treatment with a Physician. Take the FAF to this initial appointment and ensure it is completed. Ensure you advise your Treating Physician that you occupy a Safety Critical Position. Fax the completed FAF within 72 hours of the injury/illness directly to: CP Occupational Health Services at (403) 319-6803. Contact the Return to Work Specialist for assistance with options for suitable safe work duties and return to work (RTW) planning. The RTW Specialist in your region can be found on CP Station at: http://intranet.cpr.ca/employees/return-to-work Work with the RTW Specialist and your supervisors to develop your RTW plan. Contact your supervisor and/or Return to Work Specialist at least once per week for the duration of your absence to provide updates on your functional ability and estimated return to work. Provide updated FAF s and additional medical documentation to Occupational Health Services (OHS) upon request, and participate fully with RTW planning. Continue to perform modified duties within your documented limitations to the best of your ability, and discuss any concerns with your local RTW Specialist and supervisors. Revised July 28 2015

LETTER TO TREATING PHYSICIAN FUNCTIONAL ABILITIES FORM (FAF) Dear Treating Physician, At Canadian Pacific (CP), we believe in a safe and timely return to work for our employees. CP has a mandatory Return to Work (RTW) Program to assist injured or ill workers back to pre-injury/illness duties as soon as they are medically able. This program provides suitable modified or alternate duties for employees within their limitations and/or restrictions. CP s RTW Specialists and Occupational Health Services will develop an appropriate RTW plan in conjunction with your patient, supervisors, and the information you provide. Your patient occupies a Safety Critical Position (eg. Locomotive Engineer, Conductor or Rail Traffic Controller, and direct managers of employees in these positions) as defined by the Railway Safety Act and operates or controls the movement of trains. Impaired performance due to a medical condition could result in a significant incident affecting the health and safety of employees, the public, property or the environment. The attached Job Demands Analysis will assist you in understanding the job requirements. Further information can also be found in the Canadian Railway Medical Rules for Positions Critical to Safe Railway Operations. http://www.railcan.ca/publications/rule_handbook As a Physician assessing persons occupying these positions you are responsible under the Railway Safety Act to notify the Railway Company s Chief Medical Officer via CP s Occupational Health Services if an employee has a medical condition that could be a threat to safe railway operations. These conditions are listed in Part 4 of the attached form (Medical Report). At this time, we require your assistance in determining your patient s capabilities for work. Please complete all sections of the attached Functional Abilities Form (FAF) for Safety Critical Positions, provide a copy to your patient and fax the form directly to CP s Occupational Health Services at 1-403-319-6803. If we require further clarification regarding your patient s fitness for work or you are reporting that your patient is totally unfit for any work at any level, including sedentary tasks that only require sitting at a desk, you may be asked to provide additional details regarding your patient s restrictions and limitations. If you have any questions regarding your reporting requirements, completing these forms, or our RTW Program, please contact us at 1-866-876-0879. Canadian Pacific (CP) appreciates your prompt reply to our request. Payment for your time will be issued upon receipt of the completed FAF with the attached invoice. Lisa Trueman Director, Health Services Canadian Pacific
