7 02 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY Health Screening Programme During 2005, the Occupational Health group continued with a screening programme for employees and contractors. In total, 270 employees were evaluated against standards that are designed to gauge not only their fitness for work, but also their general well being, as part of the site's Wellness and Fitness for Life programme. Advice was given on diet, exercise and work-life balance following the medical evaluation of blood and urine samples together with a health questionnaire. Recruitment of new staff during 2005 meant that 98 pre-employment medicals were completed in order to evaluate the candidates' fitness, including hearing and lung function prior to employment. In addition, six apprentices and 21 summer vacation employment students each had a pre-employment medical before commencing their placement. The requirements of the AAM Drug and Alcohol Policy continue with 160 people randomly tested during 2005. These tests help to ensure that employees are able to work safely, free from the influence of drugs and alcohol. Every pre-employment medical also has a drug and alcohol test as part of the process.
