Hi Personally I would put it in the notes, send a note of thanks to manager and pass the problem back.....you have advised on the "information you have been provided with by the individual"..if they have extra...they need to discuss it with the individual. Incidentally..in my experience Facebook has being the downfall of several members of staff...especially celebrating out of work...a rugby night out while off sick with acute back pain particularly springs to mind! or was it the local rag reporting man of the match (who incidentally was on restricted dutes due to a hip problem!) If you do see the person, their face is a picture when they see you have a copy of an incriminating pic!!! Just another reason not to be on Facebook!

I'd be tempted to shake my head and hand it back.... lol Roberta -----Original Message----- From: Kate Owen Sent: Monday, October 18, 2010 9:32 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Management referral A manager has referred an individual known to OH (awaiting surgery for a shoulder impingement) The individual is working with restrictions/adjustments e.g. micro breaks for keyboard use, no heavy lifting, no task raising arm above shoulder height etc. whilst they await surgery. The manager emailed the referral and the main reason for further referral is that they question the validity of the problem & the need for restriction. The basis for this is that they have attached a photograph of the individual at a social event (don't know where they have got this from, ? facebook, ? they took it at a recent social event) with the individual dancing with a partner ( in a bit of a smooch) their arm is in a dance type hold with partner ie placed on her partners (not identified) shoulder. I was almost, no actually speachless. I thought initially that I could go down the route of 'why the impingemnent would not be aggravated by this type of posture' or 'why it is different to choose to do something from being employed to do something' BUT really.... sending the photo (however it was obtained ) has really concerned me. This is a policing style of management, what are the legal implications of sending OH a photo of a 'personal' nature. What do I do? place this on their medical records? It maybe the way of things to come but I would appreciate your views. ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
