We do not have an OH dept, we at the moment using an independent medical advisor, but I do believe HR can open all PEQ and make referrals where necessary (possibly under the guidance of a medical practitioner)and where in doubt they refer.
Is it necessary to refer all PEQ? Scenario: With a past medical history of a fracture and is seeking to work as an adm. support staff, do they require a sound judgment on their fitness for that post?. Is the advise here to refer everyone who complete the PEQ? I will appreciate some advice.
We have two Registered nurses and although they are not Occ.health qualified, the main issues here is are they competent to make that decision.
