Hi Tanya,
At the end of the day it is the employers decision as to whether to
provide modifications. All you can do is advise and leave it up to them
whether they take that advice or not. I would ensure that I highlighted
the reasons for my recommendations in my report, whether further
training would facilitate a move to an alternative role and a reminder
of EA. The employer does have a duty of care to make reasonable
adjustments and would have to justify why these were not feasible in
that particular role and if another role was not appropriate due to lack
of skills could training be provided?
Kind Regards
Lesley

Hi Taffy
Many thanks for your response. Iam aware of the fact that there isnt
much one can do from an OH perspective at this point but I was just
wanting to know more about what the employer is obliged to do given the
circumstances. Perhaps our colleagues knowledgeable in Occupational
Health law could shed more light.
Regards
Tanya
