<div>Hi Joanna,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Interesting question and perhaps not strictly an occupational health solution .</div>
<div>It should be a Duty of Care approach.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You would be required to show that all reasonble efforts had been taken to protect that person e.g. changes in duty to lower risk work, provision of &#39;stab-jackets&#39; etc. Residual risks would have to be evaluated, here you could use actuarial tables and injury statistics etc.</div>


<div> </div>
<div>Only if the residual risks were uacceptable would it be required to move that person to &#39;desk-jjockey&#39; work........................provided the risks of office work were acceptable.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Some years ago in a woodworking factory, I assessed a person with monocular vision. I advised that when working with wood working machiners he should wear both safety glasses and a face shield.<br> </div>Owen Donnelly
