Flexible Employee Health & Safety Declarations
All employers must have a Health & Safety Policy stating who is responsible for Health &
Safety and the Health & Safety arrangements in place. All Flexible Employees have a duty
under The Health & Safety Act to take reasonable care to safeguard their own safety and
the safety of anyone who may be affected by their work activities and actions and to
co-operate with the Client and others in meeting statutory regulations.
It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the Clients policy, particularly
the procedures for fire, first aid and accidents upon arrival at the Clients premises.
The Act also requires Flexible employees not to interfere with or misuse anything
provided to protect their health, safety or welfare in compliance with the Act.
Please complete the following questions to help FT Care Agency

special requirements or reasonable adjustments you may need.
Health & Safety Assessment Declaration for Night Workers
In compliance with the working time regulation the purpose of this declaration is to
assess your fitness to carry out night work whilst on assignment from FT Care Agency
Limited.
Whilst there is no difference in the physical demands of night work compared today work
the human body is naturally programmed to sleep at night. The disruption to this sleep
pattern can aggravate certain medical conditions, albeit often temporarily.
Additionally, the reduced access to services and facilities that may be apparent both
inside and outside the workplace at night can have an effect.
Please answer the following questions. If your answers raise doubts about your fitness
for night work, then unfortunately you may not be assigned to Clients for night work
unless you are able to provide proof that you are physically able to do so having been
assessed by a suitably qualified health care professional.
Working Time Regulations 1998 – 48 Hour Opt Out Agreement
This agreement gives notice to my employer of my intention to opt-out of my statutory
right to limit my working week to a maximum of 48 hours over a 17 week reference period.
I agree that I waive my statutory right not to be required to work more than an average
of 48 hours per week over the relevant reference period as it may be defined from time
to time and as provided in the Working Time Regulations 1998.
I confirm that I waive my statutory right entirely voluntarily and understand that I will
not be treated detrimentally if I do not waive such right.
I understand that if I wish to exercise this right and limit my average working week to
48 hours over the relevant reference period, I will give my employer twelve weeks'
notice of my intention to end this agreement. During the twelve weeks' notice period, I
understand that I may still be asked to work more than 48 hours in any week.
