[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4744530, member: 63706"] Maybe a note saying so and so is clear to work. The company doesn't need to know more than that. But the real issue is why should I be forced to prove that I am not a risk to others? Why should I be expected to go to the effort of setting up and going to a Dr. appointment just to satisfy the company's innapropriate curiosity? What other ways might I be expected to prove that I don't pose a workplace hazard? How many times and how often must I be required to make the effort? It is literally impossible to eliminate risk, that is why it's a fool's errand. Risk management is an optimization curve. There is an optimal amount of risk reduction action you can take, beyond which, your risk begins to increase. For example, to keep warm you might put on any number of layers of clothing. At a certain point your risk of freezing is eliminated, but your risk of overheating starts to go up. Risk management is not about absolutes, it is about striking a balance and establishing acceptable amounts of risk. That, and a little playful trolling from time to time, is why I'm here. [/QUOTE]
