Hi
Having discussed the implications of the EA today during a staff development
programme . The 'reasonableness' of a request or advice is a company
decision. We only offer advice /recommendations it is for them to decide
what is reasonable for their company.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] warfarin therapy
Hi,
Would appreciate your thoughts and opinions on this case.
New referral I had - -School crossing lady with H/O DVT- left (2004) and PE
last year. Been on warfarin since July2009. Apparently no issues with work
thru' last winter. But because of unusual cold spells recently, she's been
complaining cold making her leg ache & painful during her short periods on
duty(35 mins. AM & 30 min. PM). Union hubby quoting she should be covered
under the disability provision EA. and demanding council supply her with
thermal leggings. Council arguing she would be wearing leggings for other
times anyway so refusing to cough up, and it may set a precedence for
others, etc . Question, is it reasonable to provide her with the leggings??
Any evidence of cold on condition/medication?
thanks
lean
