1. Occupational health nurse consultants, whether independent consultants or in house occupational health nurses acting as consultants to management and employees, need to document the benefit and effectiveness of programs provided. 2. Occupational health nurse consultants must demonstrate that occupational health and safety services contribute to the achievement of the overall corporate mission and goals. 3. While the value of these services are intrinsic to the occupational health nurse, they must be translated into business or monetary terms in order to be communicated to corporate managers. Cost benefit analysis and cost effective analysis are tools that can be utilized to evaluate and communicate the business value of occupational health and safety services.
