Worth finding out why HR want to do this. I have received reports from OHPs in the past which are highly subjective (taking the employees word as gospel and reporting as fact, criticising management without full facts etc. ) and poorly worded and this can cause great problems

Many thanks to those who replied to my posting. I'd just like to ask
something further on the subject.
For those whose OHP's letters are "vetted" by HR, and I use the word
loosely, if HR raise objections to what is written because they don't like
what is said, do you then change it to suite HR?
This would then infer that if OH advisors were to write to management and
they objected to the advice and recommendations given would we were then be
expected to change what is written to suite management? There would be no
point in referring to occupational health in the first place if management
did not wish our opinion. Am I incorrect in thinking our position is
supposed to be objective and arbitrary?
Our role is that of advisor and if management choose not to take our advice
that is their choice, that surely equally goes for advice from the OHP?
Best Regards,
Sandra
