[MCOH-EH] who evaluates the employee in employee health?

[Anne Mills]

Phil,
 
For on-boarding we have our new hires screened by the RN at
Occupational Health Services, a separate clinic.  For routine RTW
scenarios the employee is screened by a co-worker.  As the Director, I
do not screen these individuals myself.  I can envision the need to have
an employee screened by a neutral third party and would implement an
alternative screening process, if needed.

Hello everyone

I would like to inquire how your EHS does handles  one of the team
members in EHS who requires  a RTW evaluation or has an injury. Are they
seen in your department by the “co-worker” provider or do you have an
alternate provider?
 
Lately we have had “sensitive” RTW issues with a couple of employees
and feel that it is not appropriate for them to be seen by co-workers in
the same department.
 
Your thoughts and procedures are appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Phil
