Good morning
I have an employee who has foot blisters. He has dealt with these previosuly by himself but when they increased and stopped him form walking he was referred to me. I advised that he refrained form work until blisters healed. Within one day of returning to work the blisters have returned. I work alone and have no physician support.
Therefore if you were me would you refer to a OH physician - dermatologist - or back to their own GP.?
I feel it is something to do with the rubber and have requested that I am informed if the boots contain latex but it could be another alergy.
Secondly as this affects his feet only would you think he is safe to remain in the work place or is this likely to lead to anaphalaxis as everyone wears the boots and I am not sure what else in the factory he could be alergic to yet. Hope this makes sence. Thank you in advance for your recommendations.
