A Staffing Tool to Determine the Workload and Cost for an Occupational Health & Safety Service

A Staffing Tool to Determine the Workload and Cost for An Occupational & Environmental Health & Safety Service is essential to answering two questions that constantly perplex occupational health nurses in practice, management and consulting, and employers and human resource managers who want to ensure they have appropriate personnel in their clinical setting:  “How many OHNs should be employed for a specific size worksite?” OR “How can I justify another OHN or OH professional in my clinic?”  

This AAOHN Staffing Tool will allow any user to objectively document time and tasks to accurately determine specific staffing needs. It is not “one-size fits all”, but rather a tool based on individual needs; including tasks performed, time involved to complete each task, and required provider skill level.

Demonstrating Value

Demonstrating Value is intended as a tool to guide you, the occupational and environmental health nurse (OHN), in selecting the best methods to demonstrate your value and the value of the programming and services you provide to employees within your organization.  

While you may realize the value of your services, you may not have documented them or may not be able to articulate their value in business language.   Can you say why you or your staff provide a particular role, service or task; and how that role impacts the business? Or what would be the response if someone asked you what your most valuable service was and based on what criteria?

Demonstrating Value includes both monetary return on investment (ROI) and non-monetary value or intangible value on investment (VOI) benefits to demonstrate value. It summarizes a strategy process to follow, case examples, and tips from OHN leaders. It is based on interviews with identified leaders in the field, an AAOHN member survey, literature review, and case studies from OHN practices.

Establishing An Occupational & Environmental Health & Safety Service

Occupational and Environmental Health Nurses (OHNs) are focused on the promotion, preservation, and maintenance of worker and worksite health, safety, and well-being, within the confines of the work environment. In many settings this is best accomplished with the development of a dedicated Occupational and Environmental Health and Safety Service (OHSS). Several potential models are available within which to deliver these services, depending on the needs of the population served. Deciding to establish such a program, and choosing the most appropriate model, requires careful thought, planning, decision-making, resources, and commitment. This brief guide is designed to outline the requirements, processes, decision points, and resources the OHN will find beneficial when considering the establishment of an OHSS.
