Advice provided by Occupational Health (OH) Clinicians in this context is primarily designed to support the referring manager and Human Resources in his/her decision making when dealing with a health-related issue in the workplace. OH advice is also given to the employee.
After assessment of the health problem, a report is provided to the referring manager. This is not a “medical” report but a “management” report designed to answer specific questions asked by the referring manager. It does not go into medical detail but addresses the functional implications of the medical problem using lay language.
