Hi Ladies I know that in the past there was an OH nurses group in FE or HE. I think this dissolved somewhat as colleges did not replace OH nurses. A meeting I went to of the Health and Safety Advisors of the AoC in the Yorkshire region discussed this when I was new to FEOH around 2-3 years ago. Maybe someone who worked in FE/HE 5+ years ago may be able to throw more light on this.

I think benchmarking comparisons is a great idea and if you want to contact me off list we can hopefully set something up.

We have just been doing our reporting and would be good to benchmark some figures with similar organisations. I would be grateful to anyone for any info, even if anecdotal, and would be happy to share my similar data.   Off list would probably be best as not relevant to everyone.   Thanks,   Catriona   From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Nicola Johns Sent: 05 July 2010 11:32 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Beauty Treatments & Disclaimers   Hi All,   This may be a strange request however I would be grateful of your thoughts on the following:   I work at a FE College where the treatments listed below are offered, up until now clients attending for treatments and students attending courses who give and receive treatments to and from each other have been asked to provide a letter from their GP stating they are able to take part in these treatments; if they have any of the contra-indications listed below, this is the list the staff have provided me with. For a number of reasons including GP’s aren’t happy to provide the letters and students/clients are charged for these letters, all of which I understand, this process has been made very difficult for staff.   Treatments offered include: Swedish Body Massage; Reflexology; Aromatherapy; Indian Head Massage; Face and Body Electrical Treatments; Electrolysis; Facials with Face, Neck and Shoulder Massage; Manicures, with Hand and Arm Massage; Pedicures with Foot and Leg Massage   Contra-indications as listed by staff: Cancer Epilepsy Diabetes Scoliosis Pregnancy Heart problems Thyroid conditions Psychological disorders High or low blood pressure Recent operations Dysfunction of the nervous system (multiple sclerosis) Spastic condition Varicose veins Recent haemorrhage Severe digestive, kidney, scalp, circulatory and skin disorders Allergies   I’d be grateful for any thoughts or ideas anyone has, I am looking at a disclaimer, with the individual being advised of the contra-indications and signing to say they are happy to engage in these activities after speaking with their GP, obviously checking this out with liability insurance. As we are classed as a training organisation I am keen to support staff with this query.   All comments gratefully accepted. Many thanks as always.   Kind regards   Nicky Johns   01656 302488 07791 339 272 [log in to unmask]" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">[log in to unmask]       ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
