I am a little anxious about not including OH physicians in problems fo fumes
e.g. paints. I am under the impression that the HSE expects health
surveillance programmes to be "supervised " by an OH Physician. This may be
simply to rubberstamp pocedures and to referal of people with symptoms, but
they should be there to give us assistance nnd the benefit of their
expertise(which is differrent expertise from ours as nurses working in
OH).This particularly true of repiratory surveillance under COSHH.
By OH Physician I do not mean a GP with a diploma, I mean a "proper"
specialist AFOM MFOM or FFOM.
You can usually train them to do what is expected of them.... this works
well with Nurse led services....
Best wishes all
Diane R-W
