Hi Dawn
I was always taught that as they have signed their contract of employment /
terms and conditions they have agreed to comply with the poloicies and
procedures of their employer and compliance with statutory health
surveillance falls within this remit. If they declaine without good reason
then it is fed back to their manager/HR/H&S. Whether additional forms of
monitoring would fall within this remit I am not sure. I'm sure there is an
expert out there who will steer us right.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] and another one....refusing health surveillance or
health monitoring
Dear All,
I had a few men who are saying they will not complete a muscoloskeletal
monitoring form to try and proactively identify early issues. It has been
designed using the manual handling regs and is to run along side rehab and
manual handling training. the aim is to consider any trends in issue or
roles.
So my question is how do you handle refusal to complete any health
surveillance or health monitoring?
I see it as a management issue that we report if they don't complete and
then managers discuss this with them and if they don't complete it may be
seen as a disciplinary issue as they should support the employer in all
Health and Safety management programmes.
Thanks I know you will come back with great ideas...
Dawn
