Rehabilitation and Return to Work Policy
Our Company recognises that helping workers to stay at work or make an early and safe return after an injury minimises the impact of injury on them and their families.
We support our injured workers by having a system of workplace rehabilitation and providing suitable duties for them while they are recovering.
We expect that all injured workers will return to work on suitable duties as soon as it is medically safe to do so.
We have appointed a Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinator (RRTWC) to manage workplace rehabilitation for our injured workers.
As part of our system of workplace rehabilitation we are committed to:
- providing a safe and healthy work environment
- encouraging the early reporting of injuries
- making suitable duties available to injured workers as soon as possible after an injury occurs
- consulting with injured workers to develop their suitable duties program
- respecting the confidentiality of our worker’s medical and rehabilitation information
- reviewing our workplace rehabilitation policy and procedures at least every three years
We make the above commitment with the expectation of the full support and cooperation of all personnel.
This policy is supported by our HSSEQ Systems and will be reviewed annually.
