I am unable to provide a Functional Abilities form. While my knowledge base doesn't contain specific documentation on this topic, I can provide general safety guidance based on industry best practices for documenting work-related restrictions and accommodations.
To document work-related restrictions and accommodations for employees with allergies, consider the following:
1. Hazard Assessment: Conduct a thorough assessment of the workplace to identify potential allergens and exposure routes. This includes:
- Identifying all chemical and biological agents present in the workplace.
- Evaluating the manner, concentration, and quantity of these agents.
- Assessing the risk levels (high, moderate, or low) based on potential harm to the eyes, skin, or respiratory system. 2. Exposure Control Plan: Develop and implement a written exposure control plan that includes:
- Engineering controls (e.g., ventilation, enclosed systems).
- Administrative controls (e.g., safe work procedures, training).
- Personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements. 3. Workplace Monitoring: Implement a system for monitoring worker exposure to allergens, including:
- Conducting walkthrough surveys to assess potential overexposure.
- Performing air sampling if there's a risk of exceeding exposure limits.
- Providing workers with the results of exposure monitoring upon request. 4. First Aid and Emergency Response: Ensure adequate first aid measures are in place:
- Provide emergency eyewash and shower facilities, ensuring workers are trained in their location and proper use.
- Maintain first aid records of all reported injuries and exposures.
- Ensure first aid attendants are available and qualified to provide prompt care. 5. Training and Education: Provide comprehensive training to workers on:
- The hazards associated with allergens in the workplace.
- Proper use of control measures and PPE.
- Emergency procedures and first aid. 6. Record Keeping: Maintain accurate records of:
- Risk assessments and exposure control plans.
- Training and instruction provided to workers.
- Workplace exposure monitoring results.
- First aid records. 7. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Provide and ensure the use of suitable PPE:
- Eye protection with side shields if there is a risk of allergens reaching the eyes.
- Protective clothing and equipment, stored securely and cleaned regularly if handling pesticides or other hazardous substances. 8. Accommodation and Restrictions:
- Document any restrictions and accommodations for employees with allergies, ensuring workplace safety and compliance with health regulations.
Important Safety Note:
Always verify safety information with your organization's specific guidelines and local regulations.
