C. & J. Clark International Limited Registered Office: 40 High Street, Street, Somerset BA16 0YA. Registered in England and Wales Company No. 141015 ________________________________________ Lynda At the appointment we will have the medical file available with past history. We don't do any 'medicals' unless there is a specific indication. Our technical people who have to enter factories where they are exposed to Polyurethrane have regular screening anyway. (We have some files with history going back to Noah's Ark as there is a low staff turnover!) We use a tick-box questionnaire to cover things like pregnancy, diabetes, disability, chronic problems and immune compromised illnesses, record advice given etc. I also send out a 'memory-jogger' email to all every 6 months to remind them about the importance of seeking OH advice before travel and to check their immunisation status. Any problems are referred to the Occ Doc for decisions. Hope this answers your question.

Registered in England and Wales Company No. 141015 ________________________________________ Charlotte Although the onus is on the individual to take responsibility for their own health, the buck stops with the employer if the correct policies and procedures are not in place to protect employees. I think the Employer should make it clear to all concerned where their responsibilities lie, otherwise you will spend your life chasing after individuals and that is not a cost effective exercise for OH! We have a policy on 'Management of Travel Safety & Health', outlining the responsibilities of Directors, Managers, OH and Employees. Employees have to see OH each time before they travel outside of Europe. Employees are issued with a vaccination history card at the first visit, containing the due date of boosters. This is when it becomes their responsibility to ensure they keep their immunisation up to date. They also have to comply with any instructions or precautionary measures associated with business travel introduced by the company to safeguard their health and safety They are not allowed to take part in high risk leisure activities while on company business etc etc. Good Luck!

Has anybody else ever been asked to provide such a service? I am trying to avoid implementing this as I think the onus needs to be on the individual to take responsibility for their own health. Any thoughts or comments to build my argument would be appreciated.
