This is to confirm that the tests conducted by Bangkok Hospital for Total Arsenic are no longer required and should be excluded from the offshore medical criteria used to decide if personnel are declared unfit or fit for employment offshore.
The test and the only result that should be associated with the personnel’s offshore medical should be for Inorganic Arsenic therefore until the test for inorganic is available no personnel should be declared unfit for work as is happening now.
The hospital should be advised accordingly and any associated charges for a retest will only be applicable for the first group as discussed previously.
