Posted By Jerry Hill My wife manages Health and Safety for a large charity organisation and has a new member of staff working in one of her shops. As this worker has had a variety of health problems in the past, she is consious that she needs to carry out a specific assessment on the risks to this member of staff. Can anyone offer any guidance given the following information: The person suffers from Auto-Immune Hepatitus. This is controlled by medication but can leave them vulnerable to colds. They have also had hernia operations in the past. They have a weak back following an epileptic fit caused by a brain haemorrage (but are now fully recovered) Finally, they are on medication for hypertension....I realise that a comment such as "Why did she get the job" is probably apt, but this member of staff was appointed by head office. Any advice would be gratefully received! (a manual handling assessment has been done already)
