Fitness for work and occupational health
Long absences, medical restrictions, unfitness for work: these situations mix law, organisation and human judgement. I help employers decide methodically instead of improvising under pressure.
What I handle
- Long-term sick leave and returns to work
- Occupational physician opinions and recommendations
- Redeployment search
- Unfitness for work and available options
- Prevention duties and psychosocial risks
- Work accidents and occupational illness
Questions
What should we do when an unfitness opinion arrives?
Decide nothing before the opinion and its recommendations have been analysed. What follows depends precisely on what the occupational physician wrote.
How should a redeployment search be documented?
By keeping a record of the positions reviewed, internal exchanges and answers given. That trail is often decisive if the matter is litigated.
An employee reports distress at work: how should we react?
With a prompt, documented response: listening, review of the facts and proportionate measures. Inaction is the employer's main risk factor.
Can you work with our internal contacts?
Yes. I work with management, HR and, where relevant, your payroll and occupational health providers.
