poor you! You can only go on the information available to you . I think that if you have reasonable grounds to believe that the information been given to you is incorrect or incomplete you are unable to make a full health assessment you should inform management of that. Another option I suppose would be to refer to an OHP but that may also be refused (though at least you will have given them the opportunity) and may not be helpful anyway.

A company I work for 2/7 are introducing a 3 shift system, 06-1400 hrs, 14- 2200 hrs and 22-0600hrs over 5/7 on a weekly rotational basis. Of the 500 of so employees 140 have appealled against working the shifts and you guessed it the problem has been passed to OHNA to sort out the 50 odd employees with health issues that they feel makes them unfit shifts. My biggest problem is that 2 employees have refused consent to me approaching their GP for further information before I can make a full assessment and recommendations. The main reason being is that I work for a private company, not the "factory". I am therefore left with basing my recommendation soley on the information they give me. Is there anyone out there who can advise me on the OHNA position in offering management advice in this situation. Many thanks Gill/ Gordon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
