I'm not a touch typist) -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jacquilivock Sent: 17 May 2012 16:24 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [OCC-HEALTH] Home visists Hi As an Independent oh practitioner I refuse to do solo home visits I will go with HR or a manager but ask that they sit in the kitchen etc when I have done these types of visit the individual usually let's the mgr/hr in the room as there is nothing they don't know generally I do however have them sign a confidentiality statement and advise they cannot use info they hear in our meeting and can only use information I provide in my report.
