I'm so excited!

Congrats! I, too, am switching to an OHN job next week. Good luck to both of us!

FMLA is a HR nightmare, usually best left to the HR people. WC is usually taught at a three to five day course that will cert you for your state.

Certainly there is usually some interaction from the OHN in FMLA, and I too have seen where the whole program is handled in the clinic. Just be aware that it, like WC, has a lot of caveats to it which it is best to understand at the beginning. Find yourself an expert that you can call on before voicing a decision, it will save you and the employee grief afterwards.
Best of luck to you,
Jim

Ask your local BWC if they have educational opportunities you can attend. In Ohio, we are sent by the BWC Division of Safety and Hygiene, a Safety Services Catalog which has info on the Safety Congress and Expo, Training opportunities, safety councils, technical support, videos available, library services, OSHA on-site, and Safety Consultations available in your area.

I have attended a "boo-koo" number of FREE inservices over the years.
