Section 1904.7(b)(4)(viii) deals with the recordablility of cases in which a physician or other healthcare professional has recommended a work restriction. The section also states that the employer “should ensure that the employee complies with the [recommended] restriction.” This language is purely advisory and does not impose an enforceable duty upon employers to ensure that employees comply with the recommended restriction.
Note: In the absence of conflicting opinions from two or more healthcare professionals, the employer ordinarily must record the case if a healthcare professional recommends a work restriction involving the employee’s routine job functions.
