Assure employees that medical findings will remain confidential and private to the extent permitted by law. Health Care Provider Responsibilities Health care providers need to be familiar with employee jobs and job tasks in order to play an effective role in matching jobs and the job environment to the needs of the worker. One of the best ways for a health care provider to become familiar with jobs and job tasks is by periodic plant walk-throughs. Other approaches include reviewing job analysis reports, detailed job descriptions, job safety analyses, and photographs or videotapes that are accompanied by narrative or written descriptions of the jobs. Treatment Health care providers are responsible for determining the physical capabilities and work restrictions of affected workers.
Employers are responsible for giving an employee a task consistent with prescribed restrictions.
Complete removal from the work environment should be avoided unless the employer is unable to accommodate the prescribed work restrictions. All rights reserved. No copyright is claimed for material reproduced from the public domain.
