Healthy Hands Project
The JHC Infection Control Team has recently launched the Healthy Hands Project to combat skin problems which can occur from working in a health care setting.
If you are experiencing skin irritation report to your Infection Control Nurse (phone (08) 9400 9736) or OSH Department (phone (08) 9400 5048) to receive a skin cleanser and moisturiser to take home with you to improve the health of your skin. These products are compatible with the hospital products you use at work.
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is part of Ramsay Health Care’s commitment to achieving and maintaining safe, healthy, equitable and productive workplaces.
All Australian based employees have access to an EAP which provides access to appropriate, timely, professional and confidential counselling and referral services for employees to assist them to identify and address professional, personal, health or work-related issues.
Employees (and their immediate family members) can access the EAP for support for either work related or personal problems, including drug/alcohol abuse, emotional stress and anxiety, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, communication difficulties, financial difficulties, conflict resolution, harassment and critical incidents.
