A 52 year old Gent started on site yesterday and declared he takes eight 30/500mg Cocodamol every day and has done for eight years. Needless to say the D&A Test was Non Negative to Morphine. He states this has never been reviewed by his GP ( Continuous repeat prescriptions) and was of no concern to previous employers, and their OH Department. Is it just me ? or would any of you act on this ? I am not equipped with the necessary skills on this matter, but ..............................addiction ? His pain ( Sciatica ) appears NOT to be controlled at all. He also takes Warfarin 4mg daily for Aortic valve Replacement 12 years ago He is a Mechanical Fitter, I have requested a Job spec from his employer so that I may be able to carry out a Manual Handling Risk Assessment Can anyone advise/ give me a few pointers please ? Thank you in advance...........................
