| 7.1 | Medical incapacity in an employee may impact on risk management decisions on a number of levels. The OMP responsible for managing employees with medical incapacity should ensure that at least the following risks are considered: |
| 7.1.1 | The workplace environment and/or the conditions that might pose a threat on the medical conditions of the affected employee. |
| 7.1.2 | The health and safety of other people and co-workers due to the impact of the work environment on an employee with medical incapacity. |
| 7.1.3 | The impact on productivity due to the effect of any underlying condition. |
| 7.2 | Multi-disciplinary inputs are thus necessary in the process of medical incapacity management, and normal risk management principles should be adhered to at all times. Below (figure 1) is a simplified example of these risk management principles and processes. This process should be applied to all levels of risk impact due to the incapacity. |
