Injury Management Consultancy
As part of our risk reduction strategy we like to get involved onsite with managing the welfare of an injured worker. Our staff are trained to deliver the injured worker to the workplace in a state of gainful employment even if not fully recovered. This method of closely managing the return to work process is an effective way in which long term absences from work can be avoided.
Whether it be setting up your protocols for managing an injured worker or just being part of the team managing them, we can help you reduce the impact injured employees will have on your business. In our experience the keys to effective injury management are:
-
Accurate evaluation and effective treatment
Our experianced and well trained staff will evaluate and treat your workforce using the most up to date evidence based practices.
-
Knowledge of the workplace
In order to ensure the injured worker is effectively employed on return to work, we acquire all we need to know about the workplace including the critical physical demands of each role on site. Knowledge of the workplace is paramount when looking at the injured worker's ability to safely continue their job or when assessing alternative duties.
-
Constant communication
Maintaining constant comunication between the injured worker, their treating practitioner and their employer reduces the impact of a claim on a buisiness and the likelihood of a long term absence from work. Our staff can also help you find alternative duties to facilitate a timely return to work.
-
Know your rights
Every worker has the right to seek treatment from a health professional of their choice. Equally an employer has the option to seek treatment and advice regarding the injured worker from a trusted source when a workers' compensation claim is opened.
