[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2223206, member: 345386"] Hi Telekom, I can't say I've been down the route you are travelling, but I would think these assessments should be quite individualised - relating to both the op you've had done and you, bearing in mind what your duties will be at work. I imagine, in the first instances, they will want to ensure that you, they and anyone you work with will be safe. For example, if you work on the 10th floor of an office building, how would you evacuate in the event of a fire? I guess the assessment is probably the time to raise if you consider you need any adjustments to be made to your environment, even for the shorter term - such as working with your foot on a footstool if that were necessary, or if you have to walk a few paces every hour, to keep things moving, as examples. Of course these examples could be waaaaay off you or what you need to do, but just examples of the sort of things that may come up. Good luck on getting back into the workplace. Try to give yourself an easy few days outside working hours too. I'm fortunate not to have needed much sick leave throughout my working life, but never fail to be amazed by just how tired I can be when I go back, after even a few days away - new routines and all that. Fingers crossed for you. [/QUOTE]
