Occupational Health Program Sample Clauses

The Occupational Health Program clause establishes requirements for maintaining and promoting the health and safety of employees in the workplace. It typically mandates that employers implement specific health monitoring, training, and preventive measures to protect workers from occupational hazards, such as exposure to harmful substances or unsafe working conditions. By setting these standards, the clause helps ensure a safe work environment and reduces the risk of work-related illnesses or injuries, thereby supporting compliance with legal regulations and safeguarding employee well-being.

Occupational Health Program. A. Each VA facility will provide the following Occupational Health services, in accordance with VA and Title 38 regulations: 1. When feasible, RNs are responsible for notifying their supervisor of their intention to seek medical treatment in the employee health unit. When this is not feasible, the RN may report directly to the occupational health unit authorized to render emergency care. The RN may obtain emergency diagnosis and initial treatment for injuries or illness that becomes necessary during working hours and that is within the competency of the professional staff and facilities of the Occupational Health Unit. 2. Annual physical examinations, at the request of the RN. 3. All medical examinations, tests and/or immunizations deemed essential and authorized/mandated by VA regulations. 4. The Occupational Health program is not a substitute for the RN's personal physician. However, if an RN suffers a minor illness or injury, which interferes with their ability to perform their duties, treatment may be provided to relieve their discomfort and enable the RN to remain at work. In an emergency, appropriate care to stabilize and transport the RN will be rendered. 5. Preventative services including health education programs and specific disease screening examinations may be offered when appropriate. B. Documentation of any examinations or screenings will be kept in the RN's Employee Medical File (EMF) and will be considered confidential. In accordance with OSHA regulations, and appropriate statutes, RNs may request in writing, to view and/or receive copies of the contents of their EMF, and may submit a release of information request to provide the EMF to their personal physician. The Employee Medical File is a VA system of records with disclosure governed by the Privacy Act and the applicable system of records notice - 08VA05. The EMF is used to document VA medical treatment related to on-the-job injuries and illness. However, claim forms and related documentation other than VA medical treatment records are removed when a claim is submitted to the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) and filed in OWCP’s Federal Employees' Compensation Act File, DOL/GOVT-1. The Privacy Act and the preceding system of records notice govern disclosures from DOL/GOVT-1.
