We handled such cases when I was at Baystate and UMass with an initial assessment(FFD) in EHS. If it was opined the employee was a danger to themselves or others, they were taken to the ED for a psych evaluation. If they refused we would
have to section 12 them(Massachusetts) and call an ambulance. Most of the times the employee was cooperative.

We don’t have policies that address specific mental health issues. My practice would be to refer them to a provider and follow-up recommendations for restrictions/accomdations.

I have just join the MCOH Section and listserv, because I have a new job in Phoenix. One of the first issues that came across my desk was a hospital employee expressing suicidal ideation. Does anyone have a policy that addresses this subject,
so that I can build on it to provide my health system with one thath suits their needs. Thank you and I look forward to meeting all of you in Washington.
