If your company disagrees with the doctor's assessment that an employee's illness is work-related, the following steps can be taken:

  1. Seek clarification from the doctor.
    • Approach the doctor for clarification if there are any doubts regarding the diagnosis of the employee.
  2. Provide information for the doctor's review, including the following:
    • Job title, tasks, duration and nature of exposure to hazards at work.
    • Workplace hygiene monitoring records such as noise monitoring report and dosimetry, or chemical monitoring report.
    • Records of previous medical monitoring like previous audiograms
  3. Notify Ministry of Manpower (MOM):
