Not really an OH issue, but it is a mystery to me..... Parking is a very contentious issue at one of my client sites, quite simply - there are not enough spaces to go around so the quest for a "blue badge" or referrals to OH for support for a space for "medical reasons" is a daily irritation. I never fail to be amazed at the reasons people give for "needing" a parking space as close to the front door as possible, and when the OH team dont support the request as there is no clinical indications that a space is needed it all gets very adversarial......

A Scaffolder on site had three foot surgeries ten years ago following a fall from a roof (26 feet)a bone graft from his iliac crest was integral in one of the surgeries. He is in full time employment, and there is no identified additional criteria to his work method statement/risk assessment. He demonstrated inversion and eversion. Medial and lateral foot movements performed without discomfort, and appears to have normal function/movement. Orthotics were only needed approx 3 years post surgery. He no longer attends any follow up appointments but is still eligible for a Blue badge – can anyone enlighten me as to why this may be ?? He leads a full active life – scuba diving, Judo etc Kind Regards, Annette Leavy RGN Site Nurse NOTICE - This communication may contain confidential and privileged information that is for the sole use of the intended recipient.
