[CAPTION] Catrina Henderson, Healthy Working Lives Adviser, Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health
Board. CATRINA You would identify is Occupational Health surveillance is needed by really having
in place the risk assessment process. [CAPTION Risk Assessment process] CATRINA By knowing
the jobs that people do, so you need to identify the kind of what are the issues, what are
the kind of risks involved. [CAPTION What are the issues] GRAHAM So the important thing
is risk assessment; monitor and record what you have in place in terms of hazards. [CAPTION
Monitor and record] GRAHAM Then ensure individuals are not going to be harmed by the process
or the activity. [CAPTION Ensure individuals are not going to be harmed] ROSEANNE You would
identify if Occupational Health is needed by always carrying out a risk assessment first.
Identifying the staff exposed, the hazard that presents itself. If a risk remains in
the workplace, you would need to put control measures in place. [CAPTION Control measures]

NHS Health Scotland LOGO: Healthier Scotland Scottish Government HEADER: How do you engage
and manage an Occupational Health provider?] LISA A good way to engage an Occupational
Health provider is to first of all identify the key issues that you need them to provide
in the workplace. [CAPTION Identify the key issues] LISA After that you would scope out
the additional aspects that you would want them to provide as well. [CAPTION Additional
aspects] LISA A good way to manage an Occupational Health service provider is to first of all
find out if the staff are qualified to the standards you require, and secondly to share
risk assessments with them and to share reports with them. [CAPTION Share risk assessments
Share reports with them] LISA The Occupational Health provider would need to keep health
records on your staff and they would need to be confidential. [CAPTION Health records]

an Occupational Health provider. [GRAPHICS: LOGO: Healthy Working Lives LOGO: NHS Health
Scotland LOGO: Healthier Scotland Scottish Government HEADER: What happens if we need
surveillance?] GRAHAM Health surveillance generally is not a control, it is checking
that controls are in place. [CAPTION Checking that controls are in place] GRAHAM You would
select an Occupational Health provider who is able to work with your risk assessment,
work with the staff that you have identified at risk. In terms of management. it would
normally be they would set a programme and they would normally come in and give appointments
to those individuals that are at risk and they would therefore report on that and give
you a health report, they would maintain the confidential records. [CAPTION Work with your
risk assessment Work with staff.] GRAHAM In terms of management. it would normally be
they would set a programme and they would normally come in and give appointments to
those individuals that are at risk and they would therefore report on that and give you
a health report. [CAPTION Set a programme Appointments] GRAHAM They would maintain the
confidential records. ROBERT Once you determine that you need to implement surveillance, the
first step is to become an intelligent customer. [CAPTION Become an intelligent customer] ROBERT
Know what you want from your supplier and what you would like from your supplier. [CAPTION
Share with them any test results] ROBERT Share with them any test results that have been
carried out in the workplace, and consider whether the surveillance should be carried
out on your premises or on theirs. [CAPTION On your premises or theirs] ROBERT This will
depend on the nature of the tests required. [GRAPHICS: LOGO: Healthy Working Lives LOGO:
NHS Health Scotland LOGO: Healthier Scotland Scottish Government HEADER: How does this
differ from what a GP does?] ROSEANNE Well Occupational Health specialists are different
from GPs because they re specialist practitioners in the workplace. [CAPTION Specialist practitioners
in the workplace] ROSEANNE They look at workplace hazards. LISA So for example issues like radiation,
asbestos, lead or chemicals in the workplace, an Occupational Health Service provider would
be a specialist on that. [CAPTION Radiation Asbestos Lead Chemicals] [END GRAPHICS: LOGO:
