Termination Physicals



Dan Zurosky said "Our radiation safety committee recently recommended 
that laser operators be given eye exams at the beginning of their 
employment and at the time of employment termination.  We seem to be 
having a problem in developing an effective method for ensuring that 
our employees receive the final eye exam before they run out the door."

I don't know if you can make this work in your organization, but we in 
the military have a "clearing" worksheet that we must complete before
departing the unit.  If someone requires a radiation physical
or other tests before departing, they must go to the clinic, get tested,
and then get the initials of the doctor.  THEN, they come to us for the
initials of the RPO.  Our Personnel Service Center will not let them 
leave until all required areas have been cleared.

Of course, this does require the cooperation of personnel management.
