Appeal against the project Darcos killing of occupational medicine
At the massive underreporting of accidents, the increase in occupational diseases and suicides work (as has been revealed to France Telecom) at the time of increased cardiac and vascular stress and suffering at work, at the time drift management methods and their voracious demands of productivity, does it weaken or strengthen occupational medicine?
After more than twenty years of continuous deterioration of health, no one denies that there is need for major reform to rebuild it. But workers, unions, professionals health issues at work are terribly worried by the guidelines of "reform" announced Mr. Darcos.
is a project that goes in the direction of the MEDEF which, however, all trade unions have opposed unanimously in 2009. It proposes outright violate the accountability framework for the occupational physician that serves as a protective shield than employers. It is so crippling contradiction with the principles of the Code of Medical Ethics included in the Act. He plans to organize future health (OSH) giving total power to the bosses: be judge and party even those who create risks. More than ever
occupational physicians and other stakeholders of OHS will be confined to activities away from the defense of workers' health. This is the death of any real health prevention work. It is "demedicalize" the only specialty whose purpose is the link between health and work. This is the pretext of the shortage (reversible) of occupational physicians substituting nurses so that they can not replace the doctors and they have no protected status. This is to transfer these tasks to the directors of business services health (OSH) that is to say to the Boards of Directors composed predominantly d & rsq uo; employers (2 / 3). They are dispossessing "oversight committees" of their prerogatives in particular as regards the right to object to the transfer or dismissal occupational physicians, while in contrast the right of objection should be extended to any "Speaking in Occupational Risks" enjoy a status of "protected employee." How
a "prevention" can it exist without clinical interview scheduled with employees, spacing the visits every 3 years? The ability and inability are defined in terms of employer: these concepts are currently no legal definition, the doctor assesses the work on a case by case basis depending on the health risks linked to the workstation. A new written definition depends exclusively on the employee's ability to perform all tasks required: it would be "simplicity" radical binary (fit or unfit) and would remove any notion of development and adaptation of job tasks to man.
Medef also wanted the medical board could trigger a mandatory procedure return to work during the work stoppage. The employer would be relieved of its obligations for reclassification from the visit of recovery. After this single visit, and within 21 days, the employee unfit could be dismissed. Remedies now available to the inspection work would be referred to unspecified provisions. The proposed X. Darcos repeats the same intentions, very dangerous for employees victims of employment injury or occupational disease. Instead of this, a true preventive health is necessary and possible.
professional independence requires that OSH be immune to pressure from those who pay them. With the method of lean production and the unbridled pursuit of increased productivity, working conditions are deteriorating across all sectors are "at risk", as workshop offices. An authentic preventive medicine, in line with the findings in the field may draw its great relevance to the clinical interview regular employees with the occupational physician. We need genuine occupational medicine is a real and specific independent public service with the necessary resources, training, staffing, and prevention appear very effective, progressive and ultimately "economic" in the int & eacute; est of employees.
All players progress throughout the project refuse Darcos killing of occupational medicine for genuine occupational medicine independently in the exclusive interest of the health of employees!
