What is Injury Management?

Injury management is a term that is used to describe a coordinated effort to prevent, evaluate and treat workplace injuries and manage compensation claims. Injury management programs for injured workers are designed to reduce the number and severity of workplace injuries. They may also be referred to as ‘occupational injury and illness prevention programs.’

The goal of injury management is to reduce the number of workplace injuries and illnesses, as well as the costs associated with these conditions. There are many different approaches to injury management programs however, they typically involve workers’ compensation representatives, health care professionals, doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and psychologists.

Rehabilitation and Return to Work Programs

A rehabilitation and return to work program is a good way to get an injured worker to remain at work, manage workplace injuries and recommence suitable employment.

A rehabilitation and return to work program can be implemented where a worker’s treating doctor or medical practitioner:

  • Advises in writing that a return to work plan should be established for the injured employee.
  • Signs a medical certificate indicating that the worker has partial capacity to return to work and undertake suitable work duties.
  • Signs a medical certificate indicating that the worker has the total capacity to return to work but, for some reason they are unable to return to the position they held immediately before the injury occurred.

The main benefits of having a rehabilitation and return to work program include:

  • Maintaining a return to suitable duties strategy for the injured staff member.
  • Retention of the skills, knowledge and experience of the worker.
  • Prevention of the worker feeling isolated from the workplace.
  • Assisting in the injury management process and worker’s recovery to pre-injury levels.

Usually, the employee’s direct manager is responsible for monitoring a rehabilitation and return to work program, specifically the injured worker’s general health and safety and ability to perform assigned duties when they return to the workplace.
