Good morning all, I started a new post last week in a manufacturing company (cardboard and packaging products, high repetitive strain, moderately hight absence ). My background is having full time employment with large multi-national OH providers and I have now taken up a role where I am the only clinical employee in the company. I have a clinic, a full remit of health surveillance kit, an online booking system for appointments and a brand new HR director with (so far) an excellent understanding of the remit of OH and it's true value to the organisation. But this is all I have - no departmental procedures, health questionnaires, staff database, policies. A room, kit and approachable HR is my lot. I am prioritising my tasks this week,Monday saw me fumbling around in the dark. I think in letting the totality of the situation blinker me at present. So before I finish my breakky and head back to my clinic - where I will have zero seconds to look at an email! I wonder if you could dispatch some collective knowledge and wisdom! If you could build an OH department from scratch - where would you start? I know I have a bit task on hand - I am awaiting the release of the Contemporary OH nursing guide in November with bated breath! Thank you (deflated and excited in the space of a single moment!)
