Management Referrals and Report Writing

When it comes to occupational health report writing, especially for management referrals, there are some key points to consider.

1. Management Referral Process:

   • Managers  explain the reason for the referral to Occupational Health (OH) and obtain written consent from the employee.
   • OH professionals should clearly state their role, the reason for the referral, and the intention to write a report.
   • Employees may request a copy of the written report before it’s sent to the manager.

2. Content of the Report:

   • Each OH report is concise and professional.
   • Include details such as the name and qualifications of the OH professional, reasons for referral, and intended recipients (usually the referring manager and HR).

Remember, a well-written referral and report can save time, money, and opportunities.
