Introduction

Occupational health services (OHS) provide advice on reintegration, but incorrect advice often leads to sanctions. This article discusses the role of OHS, common complaints, and how to take legal action.

Role of Occupational Health Services

They prepare problem analyses, approve work fitness assessments, and coordinate Track 1/2 reintegration. Independence is mandatory.

Complaints

Common issues include conflicts of interest, incorrect medical assessments, or premature return-to-work recommendations.

Legal Steps

  1. File a complaint with the OHS.
  2. Escalate to the employer or the Employee Insurance Agency (UWV).
  3. Proceed to the Disputes Committee for Occupational Health Services or court.

Gathering Evidence

Keep records of consultation reports and seek a second opinion.

Successful cases demonstrate that OHS errors can lead to sanctions being overturned. Demand transparency. (201 words)
