Re: [OCC-HEALTH] eczema and lanyards Hello Chris

We have all been there and management often try to get us to resolve their problems. When in doubt I ask the question “Who owns the problem” and pass it back to them.

Thanks for that Carr, you are right – I am trying too hard and taking up too much of my time with their role. I am 9 months into my first OH post and the one thing I haven’t mastered yet is the ‘doing too much’ for management bit.

Thank you for re-focussing me.

Why are you turning yourself inside out trying to find a solution that management are happy with? Why not state the medical issues/ barriers - if they can be resolved and if not and what is needed e.g a security tag that does not need contact with the skin? And then hand it back to management - their colour coding requirements are their issues to sort out surely?

What about a magnetic attachment on the back of the Lanyard?

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] eczema and lanyards

I have an employee refusing to wear her security lanyard due to eczema on her neck; I have suggested the obvious – wearing a blouse and placing the lanyard under the collar – this doesn’t work with modern fashion wear of no collar. Does anyone have any idea of how I should reply to the manager? Wearing the security tag pinned to her clothes seems the only other solution – but the management use the colour of lanyard to denote the level of person’s security – so this isn’t being accepted either.

Thanks
