The occupational heath service (OHS) has a free and independent position in matters of the working environment, and must independently inform the employer, employees and their representatives about risk factors in the workplace. ​

Information and advice must be exclusively based on a professional assessment of the working environment conditions in the business.

This applies in all contexts, both as an expert for the business or when following up a single employee.
