OH Basics: Pre-placement assessments

SPONSORED BY ORCHID LIVE.COM

FREE for ALL (please log in on the SOM website first). 

This exclusive webinar, hosted by Janet O’Neill and delivered by Professor Anne Harriss aims to provide an understanding of who undertakes pre-placement assessments, and the reason for undertaking them. This includes the link to legislative requirements and the features of the job role including job demands. i.e. the assessment of an administrator will differ from that of a veterinary surgeon, a general surgeon,  someone working at heights or working in confined spaces as a sewer worker.

This webinar is aimed at early career occupational health practitioners but will be a refresher for more experienced professionals. It will cover:

•    Why pre-placement assessments are undertaken and linking this to legislative issues.
•    Who undertakes them?
•    The importance of linking the assessments to features of the job role 
 

Professor Anne Harris is emeritus professor of occupational health with experience of leading on degree and masters level programmes for occupational health nurses and health and safety practitioners. Currently she delivers bespoke courses for a range of organisations on topics related to occupational health including the effect of work on physical and mental health and strategies
