Hi To be fair if the issues requiring risk assessments are complex I often recomend getting an occupational hygienist to do the risk assessments ...if no internal resource then hired in as a contractor. As an independent oh provider we do get asked to undertake health surveillance but we need to see and understand the risk assessments to be sure they are suitable and sufficient. Maybe the occ hygienist would make recommendations about a suitable external provider and the hse give guidance as well.Hope that's helpful?Kind regardsLynda Bruce Aberdeen Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. -------- Original message --------From: sharon naylor <[log in to unmask]> Date: 29/09/2019 15:53 (GMT+00:00) To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [OCC-HEALTH] Health Surveillance and Risk Assessment Hi. External provider of what services? If I understand correctly this feels a bit the wrong way around I think the way it should work is as below Eployer identifies the work place hazard, quantifies the risk by risk assessment Health surveillance may be deemed necessary as a result of those risk assessments Emoyer identifies who needs health surveillance and makes arrangemts for it to be done Health surveillance activities completed by whoever the provider is Feebback given to employer Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. -------- Original message -------- From: Joanne Davies <[log in to unmask]> Date: 29/09/2019 15:44 (GMT+00:00) To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Health Surveillance and Risk Assessment Hi All, I am looking for an external provider to conduct Risk Assessments on a number of areas. I am also looking for recommendations for an external provider of Health Surveillance who can go to a number of locations. I have a list of companies but always difficult to determine how effective and reliable they are. I would welcome comments and suggestions. Please reply to [log in to unmask] Thank you in advance.
