Sec. 101-5.304  Type of occupational health services.



    The type of occupational health services made available to occupying 

agencies will be as follows:

    (a) Emergency diagnosis and first treatment of injury or illness 

that become necessary during working hours and that are within the 

competence of the professional staff and facilities of the health 

service unit, whether or not such injury was sustained by the employee 

while in the performance of duty or whether or not such illness was 

caused by his employment. In cases where the necessary first treatment 

is outside the competence of the health service staff and facilities, 

conveyance of the employee to a nearby physician or suitable community 

medical facility

may be provided at Government expense at the request of, or on behalf 

of, the employee.

    (b) Preemployment examinations of persons selected for appointment.

    (c) Such inservice examinations of employees as the participating 

agency determines to be necessary, such as voluntary employee health 

maintenance examinations which agencies may request for selected 

employees. Such examinations may be offered on a limited formula plan to 

all participating agencies when the resources of the health service 

staff and facilities will permit. Alternatively, when agencies are 

required to limit the cost of an occupational health services program, 

the provision of inservice examinations may be provided to selected 

employees of individual agencies and reimbursed on an individual basis.

    (d) Administration, in the discretion of the responsible health 

service unit physician, of treatments and medications

    (1) Furnished by the employee and prescribed in writing by his 

personal physician as reasonably necessary to maintain the employee at 

work, and

    (2) Prescribed by a physician providing medical care in performance-

of-duty injury or illness cases under the Federal Employees' 

Compensation Act.

    (e) Preventive services within the competence of the professional 

staff

    (1) To appraise and report work environment health hazards as an aid 

in preventing and controlling health risks;

    (2) To provide health education to encourage employees to maintain 

personal health; and

    (3) To provide specific disease screening examinations and 

immunizations.

    (f) In addition, employees may be referred, upon their request, to 

private physicians, dentists, and other community health resources.
