I uSually use a wellness action plan with this kind of thing as risk assessment can be incorporated into the plan as well as protocol for managing fits should they occur at work and a get home safely plan (who to inform etc ) it can also help with the process of ensuring staff working with him are ‘fit aware’
Kind regards

> Good morning esteemed colleagues, I have an agency employee starting on Monday! who has declared Epilepsy as an ongoing condition, I have spoken to him, he states last fit was early December 2017 which was brought on by drinking copious amounts of red bull.
> Worryingly he states his epilepsy was originally brought on a few years ago following a spell of sleep deprivation and with our company he would be expected to work shifts including days, nights and afters 1 week of each on weekly rotations.
> The gent states he is well controlled on medication and that he now realises the implications of having adequate sleep and no longer consumes stimulants such as coffee, red bull ,tea etc. He does smoke.
> His work will be in hand assembly of small light plastic components, no sharp tools required and to sit at a work station where he will be able to sit ,stand and mobilise etc although mobilisation would be within a relatively small area .All tasks and work stations are rotated 4 hrly.
