Employment of Diabetics in a Post Office Region

R. A. WELCH

Post Office Occupational Health and Safety Executive

The first paper in this series of three summarized the work experience of diabetics in one Post Office Region (Welch, 1986). The present paper focuses on the use of a questionnaire to obtain further information on the range of duties performed by this group of diabetic employees and gives some indication of the employment problems they face.

The evidence supports the view that diabetic employees can perform wide-ranging duties, including shift work. The small number (four) of employees who sought help concerning their diabetes seems to indicate the need for increasing the level of awareness among staff in a position to offer such help and also among diabetics themselves.

Requests for reprints should be addressed to: Dr R. A. Welch, Post Office, Occupational Health and Safety Executive, 33 Grosvenor Place, London SWIX IPX.
