Hi Gillian,
The OHP is not in house and referrals are on an ad hoc basis. The
comment from H&S is obviously to try and cut down on the cost involved
in the OHP reviewing and signing the health surveillance results for
confined spaces.
Kind Regards

We only have the policy that's connected to F&RS and this is signed and
dated. Unsure why they H&S team are saying that - if you are competent
and your physician feels you are then continue with what you are
doing...

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] BA/ confined space medical fitness
Hi List,
Does anyone have a confined space/BA health surveillance process/policy
that they would be willing to share?
Every employer I have worked for has required an OHP to counter sign the
fitness form after I have completed the health surveillance. I am
currently being told by H&S that this isn't necessary and that I can
sign them fit or unfit (of course if an indication of unfit then a
referral would probably already have been made) I am struggling to find
any information to back up what I have always thought was the correct
process. The HSE guidance is a bit woolly. What does everyone else do?
Many Thanks in advance
Lesley
