Hi Roisin,
I tell the candidate what information is being sent to HR including
recommendations on any adjustments that would need to be made to the
role to accommodate the candidate or if further referral or reports are
needed and explain to them that the decision then lies with HR as to
whether the recruitment process was continuing.It is very difficult not
to tell them anything when they are in front of you asking. You are not
making the decision as to whether they are rejected or not.
Kind Regards
Regards
Lesley

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Pre Employment medical - who informs the candidate
fit/unfit
Hi List
I'd be really interested to hear how other OH services deal with this
process:
The HR department in the company I have recently begun working for
advises me that the OHA always informs the candidate of the outcome of
the pre-employment at the end of the medical ie whether fit/unfit or if
they need to be referred to the OHPhys for further assessment. The OHA
then provides a report to HR, who will then make the job offer or turn
the candidate down. Normally they will have been offered the job at this
stage, pending successful references and medical.
There are exclusion criteria in place for a number of positions which
have been carefully researched and signed off by the OHPhys, EHS dept
and Company directors/managers.
This is fine if there are no issues and the person is fit without
restrictions, however if we have to fail someone based on exclusion
criteria and tell them there and then at the end of the medical I feel
this could be difficult territory for an OHA and I wondered how other OH
Nurses deal with this?
I understand HR's point that, if they reject the candidate and are then
contacted for feedback then HR is unable to provide them with
information due to medical confidentiality.
A bit long-winded sorry but responses most gratefully received.
Roisin
