Returning to Work
Supporting an injured worker to return to safe work as soon as possible makes good sense.
Getting back to work can reduce the financial and emotional impacts on a worker and their family, and help them to recover and return to normal life.
Return to work planning is a team effort. It involves an injured worker, their employer, WorkSafe Agent, and doctor or other healthcare professional.
Whether it’s on reduced hours in their regular job or on modified or alternative duties, getting back to work can be a crucial part of an injured worker's rehabilitation. With a positive approach, and the right support, injured workers can recover and return to normal life.
