It starts with notification
The process starts when the worker notifies their situation. Once notified, that person's work, exposures and working pattern are assessed separately. The general risk assessment does not stand in for this.
What is examined
Heavy lifting and awkward posture; prolonged standing; exposure to chemical and biological agents and radiation; vibration; extremes of heat and cold; night work and shift patterns; lone working and ease of evacuation in an emergency.
A three-step approach
First, removing the risk at source is attempted. If that is not possible, working conditions or hours are adjusted. If that too fails, a move to another suitable role is considered. Skipping the order and ending the role outright falls outside this approach.
Confidentiality
The information is shared only with those who need it. While the outcome shows in the work arrangement, the whole reason for it need not be spread.
In Optifora
Health surveillance and risk assessment work together: the notification opens a separate assessment for that person, any restriction shows at assignment, and the case stays tracked until it closes.
