Annexure 3 medical certificate

The construction certificate inspectors actually read.

Annexure 3 is the form named in Construction Regulations 2014 regulation 7(8). The employer declares the job and the exposures. Our occupational health practitioner completes the medical and issues the certificate of fitness.

Why the form gets rejected

The problems we take off your desk

Annexure 3 done wrong

A form that does not match the worker's real risks gets rejected at audit. Our practitioners test against the job and exposures your employer section declares.

Certificate missing at the gate

No valid Annexure 3, no site access. We schedule medicals around your start dates so the file is complete before the first shift.

Paper that does not survive the audit

The law keeps medical records for years. Your Care Net certificates sit in My Clinic Online as well as the site file, ready for the inspector and for access requests.

The law in plain language

Construction Regulations 2014, form by form

Annexure 3 is not a Care Net invention. It is the form the regulation names. The rest of the Construction Regulations tell you what that form must support on site.

Regulation 7(8)

The certificate itself

A contractor must ensure that every employee has a valid medical certificate of fitness, specific to the construction work to be performed, issued by an occupational health practitioner in the form of Annexure 3.

On your site

General workers, teams at height and operators each need the form completed for their category, not a photocopy of someone else's.

Read regulation 7 in the gazette
Regulation 9

The risk assessment leads

Before work starts, a competent person must do a risk assessment of the construction work. The risks it identifies are the same risks your Annexure 3 forms must declare.

On your site

If the assessment says noise, chemicals or height and the form is blank, the inspector has a finding.

Read regulation 9 in the gazette
Regulation 10(2)(b)

Fall-risk names on the form

Your fall protection plan must include the process for evaluating medical fitness and the records of that process. Those records are the heights Annexure 3 certificates.

On your site

Use the working at heights medical for anyone the plan places in a fall-risk position.

Read regulation 10 in the gazette
OHS Act 85 of 1993

The health and safety file

Regulation 7 requires the contractor to keep a health and safety file on site. Annexure 3 certificates, fall protection fitness records and operator certificates live in it.

On your site

When a Department of Employment and Labour inspector arrives, that file is the first thing they open.

The Annexure 3, explained simply

Before the medical, the employer completes an Annexure 3 form. It lists the worker's job, the risks and exposures on your site, and the protective equipment the job needs. Our practitioner then tests against that form and issues the medical certificate of fitness, including fit with restrictions or fit with conditions where that applies.

Not sure how to complete it, or which category a worker falls into? Ask us. That is what we do every day.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

What is an Annexure 3 medical certificate?
It is the medical certificate of fitness prescribed by the Construction Regulations 2014. Regulation 7(8) says a contractor must ensure every employee has a valid certificate, specific to the construction work, issued by an occupational health practitioner in the form of Annexure 3.
Who completes which part of the form?
The employer completes the exposure section before the medical. It lists the job, the risks and the protective equipment. Our occupational health practitioner completes the medical section and issues the certificate, including fit with restrictions or fit with conditions where that applies.
What happens if the Annexure 3 does not match the job?
An inspector reads the form against your risk assessment and the health and safety file. If they disagree, you have a finding. We test against the exposures you declare so the certificate matches the work.
Is Annexure 3 only for construction companies?
It applies wherever the work is construction work under the Construction Regulations 2014. That includes contractors on a building site and telecommunications crews doing mast, tower, rooftop and fibre work treated as construction work.
Can I verify a Care Net Annexure 3 certificate?
Yes. Use My Clinic Online to check that a Care Net certificate is genuine and still valid. The expiry date is printed on the certificate. It is usually one year unless the practitioner sets a shorter period.
