Management of Medical Incapacity due to Ill-Health and Injury

Part C: Format and Content of the Mandatory Code of Practice

7. Risk management

 

7.1 Medical incapacity in an employee may impact on risk management decisions on a number of levels. The OMP responsible for managing employees with medical incapacity should ensure that at least the following risks are considered:

 

7.1.1 The workplace environment and/or the conditions that might pose a threat on the medical conditions of the affected employee.

 

7.1.2 The health and safety of other people and co-workers due to the impact of the work environment on an employee with medical incapacity.

 

7.1.3 The impact on productivity due to the effect of any underlying condition.

 

7.2 Multi-disciplinary inputs are thus necessary in the process of medical incapacity management, and normal risk management principles should be adhered to at all times. Below (figure  1) is a simplified example of these risk management  principles and processes. This process should be applied to all levels of risk impact due to the incapacity.
