Dear Amanda and list
A way round this would be if HR simply had a record of COSHH compliance
for hepatitis B and at-risk employees rather than the actual hep B
results. This will tell HR far more than an actual result but will also
empower them to take more action where an employee has not complied with
immunisation or screening.
Good luck
Paul

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Data Protection
Next part of the 'saga'.
My manager (non clinical) has arranged without my knowledge, or
agreement
for employees Hepatitis B details to be put onto the main H.R. computer
system.
I dont know why...
At the moment we hold this information in OH on a data base which works
very
well, we haven't asked for them to go onto the HR system and there
doesn't
seem to be any benefit (to OH or the individual) from them being held
there.
Several things worry me: -
1. I think it would be against one of the data protection priciples as
it is
not
relevant information for a HR management system.
2. We have individuals who are Core +ve and I fear they may be
ostracised.
3. This has been done without consultant with me (the clinical lead).
4. Individuals give their consent for this information to be held in OH
only, not
in HR.
Comments/suggestions would be gratefully received as once again I am
being
made to look like I'm being negative and making a fuss when I am just
trying
to
in effect protect employees from the organisation which makes me feel
very
uncomfortable.
