I think you should ring the HSE or RCN and ask advice on this issue, my
understanding is that notes are transferred to the new company medical
officer, she/he signs to say they have accepted them,this document is kept
by your company, under some regulations you must keep some record for 30 yrs
or more, how could you prove that you have done so if you give the notes to
the employee?

Hello all
I have been asked for advice by a colleague. One of our sites is being taken
over by another company. The employees are being asked for their consent to
transfer their OH records to the new company. The question she has asked is
if they refuse can we just archive their records (mainly so that in the
event of
a claim in the future we could provide evidence of what was done from an OH
point of view).
She has been told that if they refuse to give their consent for their
records to
be transferred over then the notes should be given to the individual
employee.
Regards
Jacqui
