S1E28 - Making an Occupational Health Referral

An employee’s health might be affecting their ability to carry out their roles. Getting the most appropriate advice from an occupation health professional will greatly help a manager resolve this situation. To get the best value from a referral, the manager should be able to ask clear and relevant questions.

In this episode, Daniel Barnett offers practical guidance and shares the do’s and don’ts when making referrals.

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

• what sort of questions you should ask the OH practitioner? 
• when to make an OH referral? 
• what you should do if an employee is reluctant or refusing to attend an occupational health examination? 
• what should you expect from an occupational health report?
