Paid Time Off For Health Screening

Conference acknowledges the continued endeavours of the Fire Brigades Union to strive for improvements in both physical and mental health and well being within the Fire and Rescue Services. With the above in mind, Conference calls upon the Executive Council to enter into negotiations at the National Joint Council with a view to agreeing improvements to the Occupational Health arrangements currently contained within the Grey Book. These improvements should include the provision of paid time off for employees to attend screening or counselling appointments to ensure that employees who are diagnosed with any illness or medical condition are fully supported during their treatment.
